Security Module

Hide My Login

Hide My Login protects your WordPress login page by replacing the default wp-login.php URL with a custom slug that only authorized users know. When activated, direct access to wp-login.php and wp-admin for non-logged-in users returns a 404 error, effectively hiding your login page from automated bots and attackers. The module includes multiple layers of security beyond URL obscurity: a honeypot field catches bots that fill hidden form fields, rate limiting prevents rapid-fire login attempts, IP whitelisting restricts access to known addresses, and blocked user agent detection stops common scanning tools. An access log tracks all attempts to reach your login page. Emergency recovery options ensure you can always regain access even if you forget your custom URL.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I forget my custom login URL?

The module includes emergency recovery options. You can also deactivate the module via FTP by renaming the module file, which restores the default login URL.

Does this break any plugins that use wp-login.php?

The module filters WordPress login URLs so most plugins that use standard WordPress functions will automatically use the new URL. Plugins with hardcoded wp-login.php references may need adjustment.

Is hiding the login URL enough for security?

URL obscurity alone is not sufficient security. This module combines hidden URL with honeypot traps, rate limiting, IP whitelist, and user agent blocking for comprehensive login protection. Use it alongside strong passwords and 2FA.
