You can also protect the WP-ADMIN folder in WordPress by requiring a password. It requires an htaccess file in the wp-admin folder and a password file stored somwhere else. Definitely good for blog security.

Nice tips there. Also there is a very high security tip available to secure the admin area 200%. I read it somewhere else. But the thing is to rename the admin folder to some random generated string. This is a surefire way to secure admin section. But it requires tedious work everytime the wordpress core is updated.

Great tip. Most of the time it’s not the software that poses the biggest security threat, it’s the user. People want to make passwords that are easy to remember, but when you have blog software that is widely used as WordPress is, it doesn’t take a 1337 H@x0r to compromise it.
