Overview
English
WPS Hide Login is a very light plugin that lets you easily and safely change the url of the login form page to anything you want. It doesn’t literally rename or change files in core, nor does it add rewrite rules. It simply intercepts page requests and works on any WordPress website. The wp-admin directory and wp-login.php page become inaccessible, so you should bookmark or remember the url. Deactivating this plugin brings your site back exactly to the state it was before.

Simple & Useful
by seamusrider·4 days ago
Works well for hiding the login URL. Setup was easy, no issues so far. Helps a bit with security, cz bots can’t find wp-login easily. Not super advanced, but it does the job. tnkz devs
Simple, effective, and essential for basic WordPress security
by mawuart·1 week ago
I’ve been using WPS Hide Login for quite some time, and it has been a simple yet very effective addition to my WordPress setup.
What I appreciate most is how lightweight and straightforward it is. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do — no unnecessary complexity, no performance impact — just a clean way to improve basic site security by hiding the default login URL.
As I’ve become more involved in building and maintaining my site, I’ve come to value tools like this even more. It’s one of those small plugins that quietly does an important job in the background.
Easy to set up, reliable, and efficient — highly recommended.
Does not perform its stated function
by iron0potassium·2 months ago
Within a couple of hours after we change the secret address, search engines directly request it. If they are able to find it out, and so soon, then this plugin is useless.
Simple Protection, Smart Move

WPS Hide Login simply changes your login link and helps keep unwanted users away. It’s quick to set up and works quietly in the background.
