Secure WordPress Admin – Change & Hide Login URL improves your website’s login security by allowing you to replace the default WordPress login page (wp-login.php) with any custom slug of your choice. It also blocks direct access to both wp-login.php and /wp-admin/ for all non-logged-in users.
Upon activation, the plugin automatically sets the custom login slug to mysecretlogin. 
Example: 
 https://yourwebsite.com/mysecretlogin
You can update the slug anytime from the settings page. 
Important: After changing the custom slug, go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes to ensure the new login URL works correctly.
This plugin is lightweight, fast, and follows WordPress coding standards without modifying core files.
