Bots find your login by trying /wp-admin and /wp-login. Moving your login page to a custom address hides it from automated attacks with almost no effort.
Automated attacks assume the default login locations. Changing the URL means those bots hit a dead end, dramatically cutting the brute-force traffic and noise your site receives.
A plugin lets you rename the login path to something only you know, such as yoursite.com/my-office. The default wp-admin and wp-login paths then return "not found" to strangers.
Bookmark your new login URL so you don’t lock yourself out, and still keep strong passwords and two-factor on — hiding the login is a useful extra layer, not a replacement for them.
Moving your login URL hides it from bots and cuts brute-force traffic — a quick extra layer on top of strong passwords and 2FA.
