You may well have heard all the buzz online about the attacks on WordPress security. Unfortunately this is no joke, and it needs to be taken very seriously, or all you've built could be hijacked or worse, lost to you.
secure your wordpress site will tell you that there is not any htaccess in the directory. You may put a.htaccess file if you wish, and you can use it to control access to the wp-admin directory or address range. Details of how to do this are readily available on the net.
Essentially, it all will start with the basics. Attempt using complex passwords. Use letters, numbers, special characters, and spaces and combine them to make a password that is unique. You can also use.
First in line is currently creating a smarter password for your account. Passwords must be made with characters and numbers. You may combine them and create small plus shifted letters. Smarter passwords can be your gateway to zero hackers. Make passwords that are difficult that only you can think of.
You can also create a firewall that blocks hackers. The firewall prevents the hacker from coming to your own files. You must have updated version of Apache. Upgrade your PHP as well. It is important that your system is always filled with upgrades.

That will stops login requests from being allowed from a for an hour or so after three failed login attempts. You can access your admin cell while and yet you advice have protection against hackers if you accomplish this.
