Secure the backend

Hi!

What additional safeguards might be recommended to secure the backend?

Protect the folder /panel via htaccess with password?If so, how do I do that so that the function of the system is not affected?

My personal favorite is "security through obscurity" ... Simply rename the /panel/ dirname to only a name that you know/remember, for example /mypanelZx9840/. If nobody knows the URL, then how can it be accessed in the first place?

Yes you can also add Apache-based login, and it will not affect the panel.
