Wordpress login security?

(Ooops! I see that you're doing what I suggested below. Sorry.)

Here is what I suggest. Add the following text to your .htaccess file:

<Files ~ "^wp-login.php">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all

Allow from x.x.x.x
</Files>

You will need to replace x.x.x.x with your current IP address.

Not sure what your current IP is? Go to Google.com and type "what is my ip?" No one will be able to login to your WP account except from your IP.
