# Username Enumeration
## Overview
User enumeration can be done on login portals, getting errors like **"Incorrect Passowrd"** when a user exists and **"User Doesn't Exist"** when a user doesn't exist.
The **Likelihood** of these attacks are **high,** but the **Impact** of them are **low** as long as other security measures are in place.
A simple fix is to synchronize both valid and invalid user error messages
