This is such a great feature, as if anyone try to login to your blog with wrong data, it will keep the username which the one were used, and it will keep till you delete the data. As you will know which username peoples are trying to access your blog’s Dashboard so you can keep difference between them.

You can send backups of your blog database to your email address in any time. You can set time to send you in every 24 hours or even 1 hour. I recommend at least set 10 hours. As keeping backup of your blog is important so it is such a great backup tool. Also, I recommend that you do backup on Dropbox, for better backup, better security.

Change Admin username:

If you don’t want to create new user and your admin username than you can use this to change your username of your blog directly, as it didn’t need to deletion and new user creation so it would be easy for beginners of WordPress.

Login limitations:

You can also limit logins of your WordPress login; you can set any number of tries. It can certainly stop brute force attacks to your blog. This is also important to put if you didn’t forgot your username password.

Change wp-content folder name:

If you want to change wp-content folder’s name to any other than you can also do it by using this plugin. As hackers generally first check, is the blog is on WordPress or not and one of the easiest way is to check its media files address, so hackers can easily know that you are using WordPress or not. However if you have a blog which was already started than I recommend that you didn’t follow this step, better you should move your wp-content folder to another place.

Changes notifications:

You will also get notifications on changes taken place on your blog’s installation files, however if you are using W3 Total Cache plugin than you might receive at least one notification every day, as it take changes on few files to build new cache files.
