Actually, as I mentioned in the forum post there are easier ways to protect yourself. Setting up a site to use SSL for admin login in Wordpress is quite the pain. It's easier to just install some helpful (and free) Wordpress plugins.

One is "Semi-Secure Login Reimagined" (free in the WP Plugin repository). It encrypts your WP password on login WITHOUT using SSL at all.

Login Lockdown is another great free plugin, that locks out people using bad usernames or trying to login unsuccessfully multiple times.

If you're on public wifi the free "One-Time Password" plugin is a great way to login with a disposable password, and not have to worry about security at all.

The most important thing is to know that you should be conscious of security, change your web control panel and WP logins every 30 days, and use 12 digit STRONG passwords - like the ones randomly generated from www.strongpasswordgenerator.com.
