<p>There is no built-in way for your visitors to “log out” of password protected posts once they’ve entered the password. Even logged in users cannot log out of password protected posts by logging out of their account. This plugin solves that problem by providing a link for your visitors to log out of password protected posts.</p>
<h3>Setup</h3>
<p>After installing the plugin, add the following code somewhere in your theme to display a link for logging out of password protected posts:</p>
<pre><code><?php do_action( 'posts_logout_link' ); ?>
</code></pre>


Log Out Password Protected Posts

Provides a template tag for a link for visitors to log out of password protected posts.

SecuPress

<p>This plugin forbids access to <strong>https://example.com/wp-login.php</strong> and creates new urls, like <strong>https://example.com/login</strong> or <strong>https://example.com/logout</strong>.<br />
This is a great way to limit bots trying to brute-force your login (trying to guess your login and password). Of course, the new URLs are easier to remember too.</p>
<p>Also remember: the use of this plugin does NOT exempt you to use a strong password. Moreover, never use “admin” as login, this is the first attempt for bots.</p>
<p>By the way, if you are looking for a complete security solution, take a look at <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/secupress/" rel="ugc">SecuPress</a>: Move Login is included inside.</p>
<h4>Multisite</h4>
<p>Yes! The plugin must be activated from your network.<br />
<strong>Note 1</strong>: this plugin deals only with <code>wp-login.php</code>, not with <code>wp-signup.php</code> nor with <code>wp-activate.php</code> (yet). That means <strong>https://example.com/register</strong> will still redirect to <strong>https://example.com/wp-signup.php</strong>. I think this will be the next step though, but no ETA.<br />
<strong>Note 2</strong>: if users/sites registrations are open, you shouldn’t use this plugin yet. There are some places where the log in address is hard coded and not filterable. A <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31495" title="Always use 'login' as $scheme parameter for "login-ish" URLs, and other inconsistencies" rel="nofollow ugc">bug ticket</a> is open.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>You will need a FTP access: if the <code>.htaccess</code>/<code>web.config</code> file is not writable (you will need to add the given rules manually), or if something is wrong and you can’t log in anymore (see the FAQ in that case).</li>
<li>Should work on IIS7+ servers but not tested (I guess you should probably save a copy of your <code>web.config</code> file before the plugin activation).</li>
<li>For Nginx servers, the rewrite rules are not written automatically of course, but they are provided as information in the plugin settings page.</li>
</ul>


Move Login

Don't know why I didn't find "Move Login" first. I already tested 2 alternative free plugins and it was deficient in different ways.  "Move Login" is powerful, light and easy to set up. Very nice find. Thanks.

The best of the 3 ones I tested

Change your login URL for something like https://example.com/login and stop login brute-force attempts.
