Hello friends,
I have been in discussion in some forums regarding the security of admin panels for mybb and how to make it more secure.

I have seen a thread regarding the six ways to make mybb more secure in here in thia community.

But,i just have an idea of just adding a security question during login will make the admin panels more secure.

I saw thi in some forum software as well i think there is a plugin for general member login here in mybb.

So can any one make a plugin or a tutorial in implementing a security question for admin panel.login that helps in keeping forums more secure

Thank you.

You would probs need a plugin but this plugin is similar and could be easily modified to ask a question.

i think adding a password is a default feature,and i dont want to add another,as admin password itself is better.
I want to add a security question,so only a few can answer the question,who are admins......so it is always better,and thanks cc,for this link

it helps in adding more security for admin panel,a question that you can create in admin panel,makes the answer known only to your buddy admins.
the location you were born/your first class teacher and like that
