Time for action – renaming the admin folder

You should already have an FTP window to perform these steps. If not, repeat steps 1 to 3 in the previous Time for action section and then come back here:

1. Find the admin folder.

2. Right-click on it and select Rename.

3. Rename it something that is easy to remember but difficult to guess. I suggest treating your admin folder name like a password. Perhaps, admintrickypassword. Make sure to leave the admin folder bit at the start. Then it would be safe from prying eyes and tampering fingers, but you and the PrestaShop system will know where it is.

4. Close your FTP window.

You just made your store’s control panel practically inaccessible to anybody except you.
