Whenever WordPress performs a core update, it automatically pulls down the following files onto the root:
<ul>
<li><code>license.txt</code></li>
<li><code>readme.html</code></li>
<li><code>wp-config-sample.php</code></li>
</ul>
These files aren’t an inherent security risk by themselves; however they are uneccessary clutter on the root of your site (why would you want a <code>wp-config-sample.php</code> file on your production website?!); and it’s just another easy-to-read vector confirming that you have a WordPress site for script-kiddies to scrape and attack.
Simply install this plugin and it will clean up those files every time you perform a core WordPress update.

Core Files Update Cleanup

This plugin deletes the unnecessary license.txt, readme.html and wp-config-sample.php files after a core update.

Starting WordPress 5.3, WordPress added an e-mail verification step that will come into action about every six months. This step is to validate if the used e-mail address is still in use. On sites with large amounts of users, this can be a very handy feature. On sites with just one user, it can be considered an unwanted nag. This ultra lightweight plugin switches this feature off.
This is an UltraFast plugin. Meaning there is no settings screen. No database connection. No input / output. It’s just a single line of code.

We thank the WordPress team for introducing these checks in 5.3, knowing there are a lot of usecases where this check is important.
