Installing the fix hacked wordpress site Scan plugin alert you to anything that you may have missed, and will check all this for you. Additionally, it will inform you that a user named"admin" exists. That is your user name. You find directions for changing that title, if you wish and can follow a link. Personally, I think that a password is good security, and because I followed these steps, there have been no successful attacks on the several blogs that I run.
Strong passwords - Do what you can to use a password, alpha-numeric, go to this web-site with upper and lower case and special characters. Easy to remember passwords are easy to guess!
There's a section of config-sample.php that is headed"Authentication Unique Keys." There are. A hyperlink is within that part of code. You want to enter that link into your browser, copy the contents which you return, and replace the keys you have with the unique, pseudo-random keys offered by the website. This makes it harder for attackers to automatically generate a"logged-in" cookie for your website.
As I (our fictitious Joe the Hacker) know, people have far too many usernames and passwords to remember. You have got Twitter, Facebook, your online banking, LinkedIn, two blog logins, FTP, web hosting, etc. accounts which all come with logins and passwords you need to remember.
The plugin should be updated have WordPress, play nice and to stay current with the latest WordPress release and restore capabilities. The ability to clone your site (in addition to regular backups) can be helpful if you ever need to do an offline website redesign, among other things.
