Strong password and permission optimization
A hacker's first attempt is to brute force your username and password. A secure password can contain at least twelve characters and numbers that are combined into a difficult combination.
However, in addition to having hard-to-guess passwords, many WordPress users opt for something like "123456", which is easy to guess. The Latest Mailing Database reason for using weak passwords is simple – easy to remember.
You need to make the work harder for hackers. Make sure your password is a combination of special characters, letters and numbers . Do not give access to your admin account unless it is essential to do so, if this happens, do not forget to change your password after sharing it has been passed.
If you have a larger team of admins and bloggers, make sure they each have the required roles and permissions. If there are too many passwords and they are difficult to use, you can always use a password management application, such as:
last pass
1 password
Dashland
KeePass
Do not use the WP admin password for other purposes/programs. If a hacker manages to compromise at least one of your other accounts, they will also manage to get that password, which is as good as not having a password at all.
We recommend that you further protect WP admin from brute force attacks by introducing a limit on login attempts. The Limit Login WordPress plugin can analyze the number of incorrect login attempts and prevent specific users from trying to crack passwords.
3. Better WordPress hosting
Your WP hosting service is one of the keys to a more secure website . If you use shared hosting, you are essentially sharing the page code and data with many other pages on the server. This increases the chances of a hacker getting to your page through an adjacent page.
