A WordPress login and admin view can be converted to make use of encryption, using SSL and a certificate.
Having added an SSH certificate to your WordPress website through the website control panel the WordPress installation needs to be told to use SSL as opposed to the default insecure login.
To tell WordPress to use an SSL login edit the wp-config.php file, found i the root of the website and add the line
define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);
Recently Google announced that greater value would be given to websites using encryption, or HTTPS. Therefore if you are considering securing the admin side of your website why not encrypt your whole site?
