<p>Protect WordPress Admin is a plugin that helps wordpress administrators to hide wp-admin and wp-login pages from non-logged in users. The result is that in case of brute force attacks, the protected login pages will return 404 error.</p>
<p>In order to access the admin area, the users will have to go to wp-login page which in turn requires some authorization key and values passed as parameters to wp-login.php. Then only login page is available. In all the other cases, only 404 page is shown.</p>
