Overview
Secure Login Shield helps you lock down your WordPress login page.
By default, WordPress exposes /wp-login.php and /wp-admin/. Bots hammer these URLs every day.
This plugin gives you a private login slug (e.g. /dragon-lair) and hides the default login endpoint:
- Defaults to
/wp-login.phpuntil you change it. - Once changed, only your custom slug works.
- Direct access to
/wp-login.phpshows a 404 Not Found (stealth mode). - Logged-out visitors hitting
/wp-admin/are redirected to the homepage. - Deactivate the plugin → everything reverts to normal.
