Introduction to WPS Hide Login
With the help of the small and secure plugin WPS Hide Login, you can quickly and easily change the URL of the login form page to anything you like. It neither adds rewrite rules nor does it literally rename or modify core files. It just blocks page requests and functions on all WordPress websites. If you forget the URL, the wp-admin directory and wp-login.php page become inaccessible. When you deactivate this plugin, your website returns to its original state.
