 * Hi all!
    to increase the security of the website, as well as secutiry iThemes,
   to access the wordpress backend I would like to further protect the direcotory
   wp-admin, create a login before the wp-login, through the creation of two files.
   htaccess and .htpasswd and stored in wp-admin folder. This additional security
   can cause problems with iThemes security? thanks alexia

 * Hey Alexia,
 * I’d suggest testing each feature with your set up. If all of the features aren’t
   compatible that just fine. The idea is to enable as many as your install will
   allow.
 * Thanks,
