Drastically Improve Security

With a Little Effort
and
Some Smart Decisions

Choose a Quality Host

Choose Quality Software

Plugins & Themes, as well as on your computer

Use a Password Manager

Makes it easier to have long, random, unique passwords everywhere.

Lastpass or 1Password are great options

Two Factor Auth

Add to WordPress using iThemes Security Pro or Two Factor

Use with Authy, Google Authenticator, or LastPass Authenticator

It’s not if you get attacked, but rather how you prevent it from being successful.

Make it Hard on Them

• Choose a Good Host
• Choose Good Software
• Use a Password Manager
• Use Two Factor Authentication

See? Easy!
