Why Change the WordPress Login URL?

Hackers often attempt to access WordPress sites by targeting the login page. Changing this URL can:

• Reduce brute-force attack attempts.
• Hide the login page from automated bots.
• Minimize unauthorized login notifications.
• Add an extra layer of protection without affecting your core WordPress files.

Important Tips

• Bookmark your new login URL! If you forget it, you won't be able to access your dashboard easily.
• If the plugin is deactivated or deleted, WordPress will revert to the default login URLs.
• Avoid using obvious slugs like /login123 or /adminlogin-these are still easy to guess.
