Getting a hold of your password is a lot easier than you think
- Do you use the same password on multiple sites?
- Does your password include birthdates, pet names or names of anyone you know?
- Do you share the computer with others?
- Do you log in on public computers?
- Do you sometimes click on links in email messages?
5sec Google Authenticator will help you keep the bad guys away. Even if they get a hold of your password it won't do them any good - they won't be able to log in. Only you can login by generating a one time password with an app on your phone.
Brute-force attacks are more common than ever
- No matter how "small" your site is you can be a target
- Attacks are automated and often target specifically WordPress sites
- Once you realise an attack has started it might be too late to take action
