It is always good to have proper security measures in place for any script or software. We recommend implementing the following security steps in order to have additional security for your script/website.

Static IP Settings – If you are a single admin and using a Static IP, then it is better to enable Static IP option so that no one else can login to your account apart from you.

Open AdminPanel
Click On Settings

Click On Security Settings

Select Use Static IP :Yes

Click on "Update"

2-step Authentication – You can use Google’s 2-Step Verification, which is a latest and safest security measure.
Security Question Answer – This is highly recommended. Update your security question and answer for added security.
Password Protected Directory (app/webroot/adminpanel) – You can make your admin area password protected from cPanel. Kindly follow these steps for the same:
- Open cPanel
- Click on Password Protect Directories
- Click the folder icon to select directory path admindirectory
  Click on adminpanel directory name
  Path: public_html/app/webroot/adminpanel
- Next Create User
- Next check on checkbox next to “Password protect this directory” and enter "adminpanel" in the field “Enter a name for the protected directory”. Then click on Save button.
