Description
This plugin enhances your WordPress login security by allowing you to change the default login URL (wp-login.php) to a custom slug of your choice. It also blocks direct access to wp-login.php and wp-admin for non-logged-in users.
By default, the custom login slug is set to mysecretlogin when the plugin is activated.
If you change or update the custom login slug, you must re-save your permalinks (go to Settings > Permalinks and click “Save Changes”) to ensure the new login URL works correctly.
