Account Security Best Practices

Updated 2026-06-25 216 views

Portal Security

  • Use a strong, unique password — Don't reuse passwords from other services
  • Never share your credentials — Our team will never ask for your portal password
  • Log out after each session — Especially on shared computers
  • Keep your email secure — Your email is the key to password resets

Website Security

  • Keep software updated — WordPress core, plugins, and themes should always be on their latest versions
  • Remove unused plugins and themes — Each one is a potential attack surface
  • Use strong admin passwords — At least 12 characters with mixed case, digits, and symbols
  • Limit admin accounts — Only grant administrator access to people who genuinely need it
  • Avoid nulled/pirated plugins — These are the most common malware infection vector we encounter
Critical: Nulled (pirated) plugins and themes are the #1 source of malware infections in the cases we handle. Always use legitimate, licensed software.
