Administrator's Guide

It is also possible to perform IP and domain restrictions using your

.htaccess file:

Order Allow, Deny

Deny from all

Allow from .myprestashop.com

Allow from 127.0.0.1

However, you should not put this kind of directive:

Require valid-user

</LIMIT>

Indeed, <LIMIT GET POST>

Making your PrestaShop install more secure

The recommendations below are sorted by order of importance:

1. Secure your back-office

1. Rename your /admin folder after the PrestaShop installation.

This is a must, and you actually cannot access your

PrestaShop administration if you haven't performed that

change. Make sure to pick a really unique name, ideally a mix

of letter and number, such as "my4dm1n".

2. Protect your admin folder with a .htaccess or .htpasswd file, or

ask your web host to do it for you.

3. Do not let your computer keep trace of your password (cookie

or any other helper).
