By default, the WordPress backend uses the url mysite.com/wp-admin to access the dashboard. So, any username and password scanners can make allow the access to at least make an attempt. Changing the username from admin can help too.
To make the wp-admin only accessible from your pc you can add the following code into the .htaccess file within the wp-admin directory,
1) Add the following code to .htaccess,
AuthName “Admin Only”
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
</Limit>
To make the wp-admin only accessible from more than one ip address, add the following into the .htaccess file within the wp-admin directory,
AuthName “Admin Only”
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
</Limit>
Now, if someone tries to access the wp-admin login they will get a page that displays the horrible message ‘Internal Server Error’.
