Hi Justyna! I’m very happy that you like WordPress Defender
John is such a great guy – honorable and knowledgeable. I hope that more people will buy it. I think that most people don’t realise how vulnerable their blog will be if they don’t do what John advises.

Lillea, WP Defender is absolutely awesome! I apply John’s advice on my blogs and I’m glad that even though he writes about quite many codes, he does it in a very simple way and shows everything on the videos.

He offers excellent support as well. That’s a great value for money.

Hi Justyna,

Thank you for your tip about the index.html – very wise to do!

I’m learning a lot about security in WordPress Defender, things that
most people don’t know, and am really glad that it’s available now.
I watch the videos it comes with and then put the security measures
in place alongside it, in real time, so they are done correctly.

Hi Lillea,

I’m reading your post just before taking steps to protect my blogs better:) Thanks for the information on changing the u and p.
I would also add that it is a nice idea to create index.html to put it in certain folders to hide files stored in there, for example in order to hide plugins from the view of hackers.

Greetings
Justyna

Thanks for the tips. I have changed some settings in Roboform options. The autofill selections were changed. I will see if this reduces the annoyances more than the lack of the auto offer.

I did download the WP plugin Kish-multi. I will be trying it out.

Below is what someone said about your Roboform problem. They never have this issue so maybe this will give you some ideas for what to check?

“If I was guessing, I suspect that at some point she has SAVED the WordPress New Post Form while editing. If she checks her Fill Forms… menu option, she can probably identify the WordPress saved form and simply delete that entry.

Other than that… if it helps, in my RoboForm Options | AutoFill, the ONLY setting that I have enabled is “Offer to AutoFill Windows dialogs in Browsers (Basic Authentication)”. Maybe she has enabled one of the other ones. I do NOT have Auto-Fill enabled.”

If that doesn’t help, try writing to Roboform support.

I hope that gives you some ideas at least!

Hi again Leslie, I'm still collecting answers but in the meantime the plugins below might be of interest to you: Kish-Multi: Allows you to manage ALL of your WordPress blogs from a single blog Maximum Security Plugin is still in beta, but it's very promising. It improves WordPress security in many ways and regularly reminds you to update your user name and password, etc.

Hi Leslie, I sometimes get frustrated by Roboform for a similar reason. I'll see if the experts at SFR can answer both of your questions and then post anything of value here. Leanne King, who is a member of the forum, will likely have an answer about dealing with multiple blogs.
