How can PHP developers ensure that sensitive information, such as passwords, is securely stored and accessed in an admin backoffice?

To ensure sensitive information like passwords is securely stored and accessed in an admin backoffice, PHP developers should use secure hashing algorithms like bcrypt to store passwords in the database. Additionally, they should never store passwords in plain text and always use prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks. 

// Hashing and storing a password securely
$password = 'secretPassword123';
$hashedPassword = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_BCRYPT);

// Verifying a password
$enteredPassword = 'secretPassword123';
if (password_verify($enteredPassword, $hashedPassword)) {
    echo 'Password is correct!';
} else {
    echo 'Password is incorrect!';
}
