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.
- 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.
- You will see next page with"Permissions Updated"
- 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.
- 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.
