Well, my web hosting provider’s Fantastico Deluxe allowed me to choose the admin user name. One unfortunate client of mine is stuck using IIS5 via their web host and I just wanted to LAUGH out loud. Heck, I was an ASP/SQL Server-7/IIS5 (and Index Server) developer back in ‘98 when I was an internship CompSci student in TDot (Toronto). That stuff is ANCIENT. Chryst!!!

Also, I strongly believe that the WP development team should make HTTPS log-ins MANDATORY as well as for password changes in the Profile section. Baaaaad!!
Thanks for the post though…great advice.

Though I knew about WP Security Scan, It’s the first time I’m discovering the others, thanks for sharing. I think I’ll have to give them a try.
