How To Protect Admin Users In WordPress


This article is part of the Protecting WordPress index, but can be generally applied to your account and security practices! 

  1. Rename the admin user to something unique, but know that your username is published in a variety of locations on your website.
    Just renaming the admin user may not necessarily protect your account.
  2. Make sure that each admin user on your account has a secure and unique password.
  3. Yubikey is an additional option that can further secure your login, check out the details for that here: http://www.yubico.com/
