Joomla! Backend Administrator security

I'd like to give a very good comment and recommendation to all joomla users out there that have used/develop/starting to explore/hosting joomla.

I recently found this very ingenious plug-in extension in Joomla Extension site that enables joomla sites to hide their administrator's path. It should be pre-included together with the joomla installation files. Its called jSecure Authentication. 6 star ratings go to the developer/developers that created this site security. You can take a look at the introduction at Joomla Extension site or you can visit the developers' site at http://www.joomlaserviceprovider.com. What's more? Its FREE to download and use.

Just think. Sometimes its so noticeable to know if the website is joomla made or not. And knowing that it is, its very easy to know the access to the administrator area. Have been known that hackers can easily penetrate the administrator site. Feeling unsafe already? Don't want to use joomla anymore? So what now?


Introducing jSecure Authentication - Joomla! Extension plugin.

Its very easy to install and just enable the plugin. You can also customize your 404 error page or re-direct it to your front site.

All the instruction and guidelines are given and very easy to understand. The only draw back I see is that if you have forgotten the security path; well.. that's the end of it.. just re-install a new joomla installation.

My salute and credits to you! jSecure Authentication (Joomla extension).
