BackEndLogin

BackEndLogin, created by TuxSoft Limited <tuxsoft@tuxsoft.uk> 2017. BackEndLogin is a PHP plugin designed to allow websites to create a simple and secure login form for a BackEnd web page. BackEndLogin is compatible with all current stable versions of PHP 5 and 7.

About

BackEndLogin is designed to provide a simple and secure login service for your website's Back End. All large websites need an area for a control panel, content management, administrative operations, etc... BackEndLogin is designed to give this page the extra layer of security needed to keep this section safe from the general public and from potential hackers. BackEndLogin is a simple and secure login plugin using salted MD5 hashing to secure the password, as well as allowing you to store an infinite number of authenticated users in a database. One of our aims is simplicity and transparency with our code, to allow your organisation to review and edit your copy of the plugin as needed to fit the requirements of your website.

Simplicity

In an aim to be as simple and efficient as possible, this plugin consists of only:
