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.

In five minutes had added to three site. Hardest part was finding the instructions which are in the zip file.

This has always been my one worry about J! I often check a site that seems to have that familiar J! feel by going to /administrator seems to be a security flaw but they insist it's not. Anyhow this takes care of that.

This is very useful plugin to protect your admin area,works great but I would like for you to post a message to other people who use it the first time because I did not know how to login twice and made me panic,did not know what goes after /aministrator/.Great plugin,thank you!
Had my site up and running for 3 weeks before hackers found their way in. Thankfully, I had a backup waiting. Two days after the backup was loaded, hacked again! Now I'm on their list. :(

Installed this gem and they couldn't get in! :)

Sometimes, you just blunder your way into things that work. (gawd, I'm such a noob)

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.
