You can not run the admin interface on a diffrent port.
I also don't see how that should improve security.

Which kind of attac do you try to protect against? Maybe I can help you
if you tell a bit more about your overall goal.

In general: Use strong passwords. Avoid sending them in plain text.

Hope this answer helped you a bit already.
