Hi everyone!

Is there any possibility to discover "username" and "password" used to attempt to login to my Mikrotik router?
If anybody try to access to my router using wrong "username" and/or "password", is it possible to discover those wrong "usernames" and "passwords"?

Thanks!

Not the password, but the in the logs you will get 1 line indicating an attempt of that login ?
Who cares about the password at this stage...
