Secure Login Shield helps you lock down your WordPress login page. 
By default, WordPress exposes <code>/wp-login.php</code> and <code>/wp-admin/</code>. Bots hammer these URLs every day.
This plugin gives you a private login slug (e.g. <code>/dragon-lair</code>) and hides the default login endpoint:
<ul>
<li>Defaults to <code>/wp-login.php</code> until you change it.</li>
<li>Once changed, only your custom slug works.</li>
<li>Direct access to <code>/wp-login.php</code> shows a 404 Not Found (stealth mode).</li>
<li>Logged-out visitors hitting <code>/wp-admin/</code> are redirected to the homepage.</li>
<li>Deactivate the plugin → everything reverts to normal.</li>
</ul>
