jSecure Authentication Popular Plugin

Drawback: Joomla has one drawback, any web user can easily know the site is created in Joomla! by typing the URL to access the administration area (i.e. www.site name.com/administration). This makes hackers hack the site easily once they crack id and password for Joomla!. Information: jSecure Authentication module prevents access to administration (back end) login page without appropriate access key.

I had some interested parties sniffing around my website. After installing this product the unwelcome guests are totally discouraged. I am happy with this product. Thanks for making it.

good and usefull extension adding a great security very simply
and yes, it works with chrome but chrome has problems with cache/cookies management so it is the browser issue, not the software

This is an excellent software for Joomla. A couple of my Joomla websites have gotten hacked the past couple months and have lost many information information about my clients and also a lot of information for my schools club website that I am currently hosting. I have installed this onto all my websites and it is working perfectly!

I am a newbie to Joomla and had made a site earlier... one of my friends cracked the admin code in 10 minutes... but with this nice little component, we can be sure that the admin site is secure...

It is very very easy to install and use... thanks to the developers....

Great plugin, very easy to use.
Adds an extra layer of protection to your Joomla Site.
Users can only get in with a secure key.
My clients find it easy to use which is great news.
Highly recommended

I am using jSecure Authentication. Great plugin and real appreciation.

Every body who is developing anything on joomla!, i believe need to have this plugin and may be considered to put in core joomla enhancements!
bypensive612 on November 18, 2009
I recommend installing this plugin on all of your sites.

It really helps secure your Joomla site.

Yeah, thanks. So simple and so powerful. Keep working!
Great Plugin, very easy to install and to work with. Thanks for this usefull plugin!
No one should be using JOOMLA! without this. It is a great common-sense solution. It works great - fast download, easy installation, simple to configure and you then have a much more secure path to your back-end.

Great straightforward extension!!
Easy to install, easy to use.
When key got lost, access your website through ftp, rename this file /plugins/system/jsecure.php and one has access to the backend again. Set the parameters again, rename the file back, and enable the plugin.
Uninstall one does through extensions - install/uninstall.
Can't be more eassier!!

although you cant hide from web developer which cms you use but 50 % of site traffic are interested in what you use..and to keep them guessing this is what you use..
excellent simple to use plugin..best of the lot
byultracy on October 24, 2009
Simple Yet Powerful. Such a straight forward extension!!! Great extension!!!
I did try to post this on the support site but for whatever reason registration wasn't working. An excellent plugin but it doesn't work in Google Chrome. I don't know why. Fortunately if it didn't work even for me then I guess the admin area was safely blocked !

This is really an excellent plugin, this really helps to hide, what type of CMS we are using.

Great Contribution.

Thanks a Lot..

This does exactly what it says, the "readme" is clear enough, even for an beginner like me.
Thank you VERY much for this.

This is one of the first plugins that I always install when making a new Joomla site. The readme that is included with the .zip is straightforward, and tells you exactly how to use this great extension. Thanks a bunch to the developers.

Cheers.
