Password protect wp-admin

Hey,

If your running your WP site using EE, then you don't need to specify/setup Auth Basic.

All you need to do is create a location block and add include common/acl.conf;.

For example:

https://easyengine.io/docs/commands/site/edit/

ee site edit example.com

then add your location block:

location = /wp-login.php {
                
include common/acl.conf;	# EE file that holds default HTTP Auth 

}

It will then be password protected. Use your AUth details EE provided when you installed it via the command line.

You can change this if needed by:

ee secure --auth [Optional user name] [Optional password]

Also I add my home static IP to the whitelist so I can bypass the basic auth when at home by:

ee secure --ip [Optional comma separated IPs]

Also for additional security look at setting up Fail2Ban.
