Secure Login Shield

Mô tả

Secure Login Shield helps reduce unwanted direct access to the default WordPress login screen by letting you create a private login URL for your site.

Instead of leaving your login page exposed at the usual wp-login.php path, Secure Login Shield lets you choose a private slug such as /dragon-lair. Once configured, direct visits to wp-login.php are blocked with stealth 404 behavior, and logged-out visits to wp-admin are redirected away from the dashboard.

This plugin is designed to be focused, lightweight, and easy to understand. It does not try to replace a full firewall or enterprise security suite. It focuses on one important job: making your WordPress login harder to find and less exposed to basic automated login traffic.

What Secure Login Shield Does

• Creates a private login URL for your WordPress site.
• Blocks direct access to wp-login.php after setup.
• Returns stealth 404 behavior for unwanted direct login access.
• Redirects logged-out wp-admin visitors to the homepage.
• Adds a cleaner admin dashboard with setup status and security score.
• Keeps settings simple and lightweight.
• Does not require an external service.
• Does not track visitors or send site data to a third-party service.

Why This Helps

Many automated bots look for the default WordPress login screen. Moving normal login access to a private URL can help reduce noise, unwanted login attempts, and casual automated probing.

Secure Login Shield is best used as part of a broader WordPress security setup that may also include strong passwords, two-factor authentication, regular updates, reputable hosting, and secure backups.

Important Setup Note

After changing your private login slug, save the new login URL somewhere safe before logging out.

If your private login URL does not load immediately, go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes. If you use a cache plugin or CDN, clear your cache after changing the slug.

Privacy

Secure Login Shield stores its settings in your WordPress database. The free plugin does not send login data, IP addresses, analytics, or settings to an external service.
