Restrict Access to ManageWP by IP Address

We take security very seriously at ManageWP. We use OpenSSL

implementation to communicate between the ManageWP dashboard

and your remote websites. We also offer two factor authentication to

make access to your ManageWP account watertight.

For additional security, you may want to restrict logging in to your

ManageWP account by IP address. This will mean that only people in

certain locations, specified by you, will be able to log in to your

ManageWP account. This additional layer of protection will even further

harden your security.

You can specify different IPs:

single IP address - e.g. 123.455.23.23 - i.e. a single computer

global IP address or range - e.g. 62.234.12.* - i.e. a group of

computers on a network.

To restrict access to your ManageWP account by IP address, navigate

to your Username (top right corner) > Settings > Advanced.

Insert the IP addresses which you wish to restrict access to. One should

be added per line.

Be careful when choosing this option as it will restrict access to your

account immediately.
