Basic Wordpress Security Advice for Beginners
I recommend either:
WordPress › Login LockDown « WordPress Plugins
or
WordPress › Limit Login Attempts « WordPress Plugins
Both are very easy to instal and, in this day and age, vital it seems!
The other situation that can arise is choosing 'admin' for the username and a very basic and easy to crack password when installing WP using Fantastico or Simple Scripts. And, on the face of it, you are stuck with it. Well, not so.
You have two options. First, you can create a new user with a better username and secure password, grant them admin rights, and then delete the old admin username.
Secondly, and this is more advanced, you can make the relevant change via cpanel and phpmyadmin. This video tells you how to do it:
At the very least, everyone should have basic login protection.
Good luck to all and I hope this helps!
