Your wp-admin and login page are the front door to your site, and bots try them constantly. A few defensive steps make brute-force attacks practically useless.
Install a plugin that limits failed login attempts and locks out repeat offenders. Combine this with strong passwords and two-factor authentication so a guessed or leaked password still isn’t enough.
Change your login URL from the default /wp-admin so automated bots can’t find it, or password-protect the wp-admin directory at the server level in cPanel for an extra layer.
Give each user the lowest role they need, and if only you manage the site, consider restricting admin access to your IP address. Fewer admins and tighter access means less risk.
Limit logins, add two-factor, hide or protect the login page, and tighten roles — and brute-force attacks simply fail.
