WordPress Tip #5 – Passwords
WordPress Tip number 5 – Passwords
This tip is one of the simplest one that we should be practicing/applying every time we create an account somewhere. This is one of the first attempts a hacker/bot/script will attempt for accessing an account (username & password) and unfortunately many still use the default password given by a system or choose very simple one such as password, 12345, “first name”, etc…
It is recommended you change password every couple of weeks/months.
Passwords
Always choose a strong password. Avoid using passwords that are short, a dictionary word, numeric or alphabetic only. Mixing both numeric and alphabetic is highly recommended for your WordPress login.
