Harden Your Password

Posted on December 22, 2008 by David with No Comments

No one wants their blog to get hacked. But, it is happening more frequently by obviously malicious hackers. Part of the reason could be because everyone knows the username of any Wordpress blog – it’s admin. So, all a hacker has to do is develop a software program to figure out the password.

If you have a Wordpress blog, may I suggest that you harden the password as soon as possible, using letters, numbers and symbols. Wordpress will assist you as you enter a new password, telling you whether it’s easy or strong.
