6. Under **Solid Security Basic**, click **Settings**.

8. Decide whether to enable **Security Pro**. We recommend **not** enabling it due to potential GDPR issues.
9. Specify whether the site is your own or for a client. We select **My own site**.
10. Enforce a **strong password policy** for all users. We highly recommend this.
11. Click **Next**.
12. Optionally add extra IP addresses under **Authorized Hosts**.
13. Click **Authorize My IP Address** to automatically add your current IP address.
14. Click **Next**.
15. Enable **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)** for additional security.
16. Click **Next**.
17. Click **Default User Groups** and leave the suggested settings unchanged.
18. Click **Next**.
