3 Steps to Secure Your WordPress Login

It is hard to imagine the damage when a poorly secured WordPress site is hacked or infected with malware. That is why businesses need to take security upgrades seriously, to protect their revenue and their brand.

Here are 3 steps to secure your WordPress login:

Keep WordPress updated: this is the first and most important step in securing WordPress, so your website stays clean and free of malware.

Use a security plugin: you can use Solid Security (formerly iThemes Security) to help protect your website from security threats. This plugin offers features such as malware scanning, a firewall and website activity monitoring.

Turn on two-factor authentication: this technique requires users to verify their login in two steps. The first step is the usual username and password, and the second is verification through a device or another app.

Securing and backing up your website data is important, and it should be done regularly to avoid serious risks.
