        @robi said in Wordpress hardening:

        Wordfence and Cerber.

        I'm not familiar with Cerber myself, but a big +1 to Wordfence, it's the first thing I install on any WordPress site.

        I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

          • disable REST API
          • disable application passwords
          • 2FA forced for admin account(s)
          • move login page to something other than /wp-login.php
          • Captcha for user authentification
          • manually approve new registrations
          • only a couple plugins that are (auto) updated frequently
          • up to date theme
          • disable mail functionality (if this is suitable for you)

          All In One WP Security plugin is a good start and even the free version brings 90% of the necessary features.
