      There is no benefit to doing so either. Renaming these folders only give the illusion of security. You can lock down access using IP addresses in your /core/includes/config.php file or enable two-factor authentication in the same file.

          Shared passwords on directories are not secure.

          This is the point of two-factor authentication. It generates a secondary password for administrators and moderators to access these functions. The password lasts for a minute and then is discarded. You would use an app like Google Authenticator to show you the temporary password.

          vBulletin 5.3.0 and higher will allow site owners to enable Two-Factor Authentication for Administrator and Moderator functionality. This is an extra layer of security provided to make sure your user data


          However, if you wish to use a password then you can do so by following the instructions provided by your web server platform.

            I have a simple question
            How to redirect all links without www to https
            I used this code with vb4 htaccess file

            RewriteEngine on
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [OR]
            RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$
            RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]

              There is code for this in the provided .htaccess file already. It is just commented out. You have to remove the # at the beginning of the lines. The file is commented to provide instructions. If those two lines don't work, then you have to ask your hosting provider what to use.

                  Our code doesn't care about www or not. However, if you need help with specific .htaccess rules, your web hosting provider is better able to support you. We don't even know what version of web server you are running so you're asking us to guess here. Server configuration is not part of vBulletin support for this very reason.
