Hi,

I want to enable edit access from website front-end for my users, but I'm wondering about if security can be imporved thanks to admin tools?
What will be your advice to use a secure URL/access?

Thanks
L.

Hello,

such features are native to Joomla, trying to mess around with links and access would be very difficult.
What you can do is to enforce strong passwords, and check if the current password is actually inside any list of leaked passwords and force the user to change them.
