Prestashop Advanced Security Manager

A. Admin Panel Security

1. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This adds a second login step using a 6-digit code from any standard authenticator app. Each employee sets up their own private code in a few seconds; no QR scanning needed, just a key copied into the app. An optional Force 2FA mode applies it store-wide, a trusted-IP list exempts known office/home connections, and an admin-side Employees view shows who has 2FA active and lets you reset it instantly if someone loses their phone.
2. Brute-Force Protection: This feature automatically blocks an IP after a set number of failed login attempts within a chosen time window. These blocks expire on their own, and a trusted-IP list keeps your own team accessing the login.
3. Admin IP Protection: Admins can restrict the entire back office to a list of approved IP addresses: your office, home, or VPN. Everyone outside that list cannot reach the admin login at all. Your current IP is whitelisted automatically the moment you turn this on, so you cannot accidentally lock yourself out.
4. Hidden Admin Address: You can also move your admin login behind a secret URL of your choosing. The default admin link returns a generic “page not found” to anyone who tries it, keeping your back office off the radar of automated vulnerability scanners.
5. Extra Password Gate (Admin): This PrestaShop spam protection module helps you integrate an independent username/password checkpoint in front of the normal admin login screen: a simple second locked door, with its own trusted-IP list.
6. Monitoring: Login Alerts & Access Log: email alerts on failed and/or successful admin logins, plus a downloadable log of every login attempt (time, IP, result) so you can audit activity whenever you want.
7. Anti-Malware Settings:The Prestashop Security Manager Module automates CRON-based malware scanning with configurable email alerts for new/modified threats and customizable path exclusions to prevent false positives, ensuring continuous security monitoring of your store's files.

B. Frontend Security

8. Web Application Firewall (WAF), a core feature of this PrestaShop login security module, inspects incoming requests and blocks common malicious patterns before they reach your store. Always-on, controlled by a single switch.
9. Security Headers: modern browser-level defenses: clickjacking protection, content-type safeguards, and HSTS enforcement, switched on without touching server config files.
10. Spam Protection (CAPTCHA): CAPTCHA challenges on login, registration, contact, and other forms. Native support for Cloudflare Turnstile (fast, privacy-friendly, and usually invisible to real visitors), hCaptcha, and Google reCAPTCHA, along with a convenient "Test Keys" button to verify your CAPTCHA configuration before going live.
11. Fake-Cart Protection: this PrestaShop admin security module blocks automated bots from flooding your store with fake “add to cart” events that distort stats and burn server resources, functioning as a dedicated PrestaShop fake-cart-bot protection module in its own right.
12. Content Protection: store admins can disable right-click, copy, paste, text selection, and similar shortcuts across the storefront to prevent casual content scraping. As a standalone PrestaShop content protection module, it also includes a trusted-IP exemption list for your own team.
13. Extra Password Gate (Frontend): This module adds a username/password wall in front of the entire storefront, ideal for staging sites, “coming soon” launches, or members-only stores. With independent credentials and its own trusted IP list, it doubles as a complete PrestaShop password protection module.
    
    

Built-In Safety Net

• Emergency recovery link: one click disables every protection across all shops in a multi-store setup.
• Automatic self-protection: your current IP is whitelisted the moment IP restriction is enabled; a bypass link is generated when 2FA is enabled.
• Fully reversible: every feature is an independent toggle.

Benefits to the Store Owners

One module instead of five: This module removes the need for separate extensions for 2FA, firewall, Content Protection, Spam Protection and CAPTCHA: it's an all-in-one plugin.
Stops the #1 attack vector: Admin login pages are probed constantly by thousands of automated bots. The module's PrestaShop 2FA and brute-force protection features neutralize stolen or guessed passwords before they're ever used.
No developer required: The configuration of the module is in plain language, meaning a non-technical store owner can also handle their store security in minutes.
Cannot lock yourself out: The emergency recovery link and automatic IP whitelisting remove the single biggest fear merchants have about security plugins.
Cleaner analytics & inventory: The module's fake-cart-bot blocking keeps cart and stock data accurate for decision-making.
Better customer trust signals: Security headers and HTTPS enforcement protect every visitor's browsing session, not just store data.
Protects your content investment: Product descriptions and images you paid to create are harder to scrape and republish elsewhere.
Built for agencies too: Multi-store support and multilingual UI make it easy to standardize security across client stores.
