Secure your admin dashboard

Hackers find the dashboard highly engaging and any security loopholes there allows them to do significant damage so it is necessary to take extra care for protection.

Protect the wp-admin directory:

This is the central part of WP website. To secure this use password protect where the owners submit two passwords for access- one for admin area and the other for the login page.

Use SSL to encrypt data:

Secure admin panel with SSL certificate implementation. This way the data transfer becomes secure between server and browser.

Add user accounts with care:

Multiple people access to admin panel increases security threats. Use plugins for users to make their passwords secure.

Change the admin username:

Admin as the username for administrator main account is easy-to-guess username so change this as soon as possible.

Monitor your files:

Use plugins like iThemes Security or Wordfence to monitor website file changes.
