Lock down your WP-admin

Here are a few ways you can lock down the WP-admin on your WordPress website!

• Limit login attempts
  Prevent endless guesses by limiting how many times someone can try to log in from the same IP.
• Add a CAPTCHA
  Make bots jump through an extra hoop with a quick “prove you’re human” test.
• Use strong passwords
  Go for at least 12 characters, mixing uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
• Ditch the default ‘admin’ username
  Attackers love to target “admin.” Create your own unique username instead.
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
  Require an extra code (like one sent to your phone) on top of your password.
• Keep an eye on login activity
  Monitor failed logins or suspicious attempts. Plugins can send you alerts so you stay in the loop.
• Block troublesome IPs
  If certain IPs keep trying (and failing), block them or restrict their access altogether.
