Password Security

  • Use strong passwords - At least 12 characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
  • Never reuse passwords - Your site password should be unique.
  • Use a password manager - Tools like Bitwarden, 1Password, or LastPass generate and store strong passwords securely.
  • Change passwords regularly - Especially if someone leaves your team.

User Account Safety

  • Limit admin accounts - Only people who need admin access should have it.
  • Disable unused accounts - Don't leave old accounts active.
  • Use individual accounts - Sharing credentials makes it impossible to track who did what.

Content Safety

  • Be cautious with embedded code - Don't paste HTML, JavaScript, or iframe code from untrusted sources into your articles.
  • Verify links before adding them - Make sure external links go where you expect.
  • Don't install extensions yourself - Contact Moko Enterprises if you need new functionality. Unapproved extensions can introduce vulnerabilities.
