Is site security important to you?

[Debashis]

How important is site security to you when choosing a hosting provider or website software? What security features do you prioritize, and have you ever experienced a security issue that influenced your choice?

Security is pretty important to me. I have taken a few precautions. A couple I don't mind sharing are:

- I have a unique password to my forums that I do not use anywhere else on the internet. If you use the same password everywhere and one of your passwords gets cracked elsewhere, you're screwed.

- I use the Xenforo software which is very solid in terms of security.

Yes, always stick to standard software and reliable hosting. Use 2FA where available.
