I don't think there's a person out there that after learning just how much of a problem WordPress hacking is why not try this out that it is a fantastic idea to boost the safety of their blogs.

Take note of your new password to the next time you sign in! I suggest the paid or free version of the software *Roboform* to remember your passwords.
Oh . And by the way, I talked about plugins. Make sure it's a safe one when you get a plugin. Do not install any plugin simply because the owner is saying on his website that plugin will help you do that or this. Use get a software engineer to analyze it, or perhaps a test site to look at the plugin. This way you'll know it isn't a threat for you or your business.
