With access to only one of your admin accounts, the hacker can take total control of your website.<\/p>\n\n<p>By forcing admins to change their password often and not allowing them to use previously used password, you add another layer of security to your data.<\/p>\n\n<h4>PRIVACY POLICY<\/h4>\n\n<p>This plugin does not share any data from the site or its users. The only data that is stored in the site's database is the previously used encrypted passwords of users so they can\u2019t use those again. That information never leaves the server where the plugin is installed and is never shared.<\/p>\n\n<p>We do not have access to this or any other information.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<h4>Automatic installation<\/h4>\n\n<p>Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don\u2019t need to leave your web browser.
