 Hi there,

 I have three wordpress web sites all three of them hosted by the same web
 hosting company.

 Yesterday I noticed I logged in as administrator to web site #3 using user
 name and password of my web site #1.

 I use opera browser, I saved those user names and passwords within Opera
 browser and for some weird reason opera offered me user name and password
 of my web site #1 when I wanted to log into web site #3. And it worked.

 I am not very proficient with programming etc but things like that should
 not happen.

 I use Wordfence plugin also another 2-3 plugins.

 I hope this information will be useful.

 Regards,

 Milorad
