Hi Tony, thank you, very simple and easy to put in place. Quick question, is there any way to log/track/get notified/whatever solution for login attemps/failures ? just to try to detect who could be trying to bruteforce or to login?

How to do it on Cyberpanel?

Hi, Tony, I have changed the Login Page URL using a Plugin, should I also use this to protect the page or changing URL, which one is a better option in terms of performance.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

For maximum security, I would suggest doing both if that's possible. But if I had only one choice, I would use basic auth

Can this method be combined with fail2ban? i.e. If someone enters the wrong password more than 3 times they get banned by fail2ban?

If keeps asking to enter username and password check permission of vhost or $VH_NAME folders and set to 750

Hi, Did you find a solution?

[@mertt.7602]

Hi Tony, I did everything you explained but it says my username and password information are wrong, I created and tried again and again but the problem persists, what can I do?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

I don't know why that would be happening

[@mertt.7602]

[@TonyTeachesTech]

I don't know sorry

[@xMostFuriousx]

This does not work. It just keeps asking to enter username and password

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Please make sure you are providing the correct password
