content management system (CMS)

Security implementation #2 for hardening my WordPress website is to setup Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). I’d previously configured my website to use 2FA – back when I was running my site on Joomla CMS). However, I have to configure 2FA again since I’ve migrated my site to WordPress CMS.

I’m long overdue for improving my WordPress website security. With that said, I’m embarking on a journey to enhance my site security. Security implementation #1 is to protect my site against brute force attack . A brute force attack is when a hacker attempts to try various permutations and combinations of usernames and passwords to get inside of your WordPress blog. All WordPress websites have a common admin URL in the form of www.domain.com/wp-admin. Knowing this common URL makes it easy for a hacker to get started with brute force attack. Ok, enough blabbing … let’s get to work (follow my Github project for securing WordPress to see new implementations)
