🔒 Security Considerations

• This application includes built-in authentication for basic security
• For public-facing installations, consider adding:
  • HTTPS encryption (SSL/TLS certificates)
  • Enhanced authentication mechanisms (2FA, OAuth, etc.)
  • Request rate limiting
  • IP-based access restrictions
• Regularly update your PHP version and dependencies
• Limit access to sensitive directories through proper configuration
• Back up important files before performing bulk operations
• Review all file permissions in production environments
