One Time Password
by malthead·5 months ago
I have requested a one-time password several times. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive any and nothing arrived in my spam folder.
Great, but… still not for agency
by Nelmedia·5 months ago
As mentioned before (i.e. 3 years ago), even as of today (October 2025 with new version 1.1.5) it is still not suitable for agency…
You need to provide your email address, so the account is linked to your account… The problem is when they click on a link for details, it takes them to the Virusdie web site, where they can see and manage all of your accounts… Not too good…! It would be okay if the link (that includes special characters to point to the right place in your account) included something that would limit the access to JUST that account/web site.
So, for now, the manual way is probably still the best way (though your clients can’t see it).

saved my ass. Got 2 vulnerable plugins. Solved 🙂
Fantastic function, semi-automatic safety tool.
by Anders Granholm·3 years ago
I have used VirusDie (VD) for 3 months now. Installed on our own pages as well as most of our customers websites as well.
The install is super easy. Either install the plugin. Add admin-email address, receive code to that e-mail address. Copy, and paste in customers plugin-settings. Done.
or
Install small php-file in root of customers hosting via for example ftp, or the hosting companies file manager.
Then, if you like, you have your own admin dashboard to make adjustments to each site. You can set interval for scanning, change the power of the firewall, enable automatic patching of security glitches, and so on.
Super great tool to have. So great to add to customers site, since we are experts in making great web sites, not expert in making sure EVERY security details is sorted out. As well as we now can say we take care of our customers web sites as part of a good support contract.
Please note, VD is super friendly when it comes to support. And they are top notch to improve VD with better features and faster services month after month.
I am not paid by them (I pay them). I am not part of the company or the team. I do not know any of them.
Please not I will not use “super” for the next 3 months, starting now.
