Secure Login Shield

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.php until you change it.
• Once changed, only your custom slug works.
• Direct access to /wp-login.php shows a 404 Not Found (stealth mode).
• Logged-out visitors hitting /wp-admin/ are redirected to the homepage.
• Deactivate the plugin → everything reverts to normal.
