Password Security

Enforces strong password policies and prevents weak passwords.

For a WordPress site, “Password security” means two things:securing your admin and user accounts with strong passwords and protecting specific content or the entire site with additional password protection. The first is about using complex passwords for login, while the second involves using built-in features or plugins to create a password-protected login for visitors to access certain pages, posts, or the entire site. 

For user accounts:

• Strong passwords: Use a strong, unique password for your user account to prevent unauthorized access to your admin dashboard and site settings.
• Sign out: Log out of your account when you’re finished, especially on a public or shared computer. 

For site and content access:

• Built-in protection: WordPress allows you to password-protect individual pages or posts through its editor.
• Plugin protection: Use a plugin to add extra security. You can:
  • Password-protect the entire website, which is useful for a site under development or one with sensitive information.
  • Password-protect specific pages, posts, or categories.
  • Password-protect specific parts of a page, like a certain section or download.
• Admin area protection: Protect the /wp-admin login page with a password to prevent brute-force attacks and unauthorized login attempts.
