Add different password for admin panel?

[Keesa]

Is there a way to make the password for the admin panel different than the password that admins use to log in to the board?

There has been MASS hacking of all board related to our boards subject and I would like to try to put in more safeguards.

Danke.

Add a .htaccess to the admincp directory :) That should close of a few more hackers :)

Sorry to be daft, but what exactly would I put on that file?

I will also do some searches on this.

Danke!!!!!!!

yes, the passwords need to be encyrpted. :cool:

Search for .htaccess/.htpasswd protection on Google. If you have cPanel, you can activate password protection from there.
