Using an easy or shared password makes brute force or credential stuffing much easier.
Weak or Reused Admin Password
Key Points: Your password is “admin123” — and hackers are smiling.
Credential leaks are everywhere, and bots try thousands of combos daily. If your admin password is weak or reused, you’re one step away from losing your site.
🧨 Common Mistakes
- Passwords like “qwerty”, “admin123”, “letmein”
- Same password across email, hosting, and WP
- No 2FA or change history
🛠️ Prevention Plan
- Use a unique, strong password (and a password manager)
- Enable 2FA for all admin accounts
- Audit user list regularly and remove inactive admins
🔐 Tip
Your password is the front gate. Make it harder to guess than your pet’s name + year of birth.
