WPS Hide Login

Change wp-login.php to anything you want.
By submitting this form you agree to our Terms & Conditions

English WPS Hide Login is a very light plugin that lets you easily and safely change the url of the login form page to anything you want. It doesn’t literally rename or change files in core, nor does it add rewrite rules. It simply intercepts page requests and works on any WordPress website. The wp-admin directory and wp-login.php page become inaccessible, so you should bookmark or remember the url. Deactivating this plugin brings your site back exactly to the state it was before.

Incompatible with WordFence

By toneee on August 29, 2023

More important than obfuscating the login page, firewall security is imperative, so it's prudent that this plugin ensures compatibility with popular cybersecurity solutions like WordFence with or without two factor authentication. This plugin ends up with a "Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser" error and locks you out of your WordPress account. When you're locked out, there's only a few ways you can get back in:

  1. If you're using GoDaddy, Toneee, EasyWP or other popular website company, you can login to your WordPress web hosting account and automatically login to your WordPress dashboard from there and disable this plugin.
  2. If you have a standard cPanel web hosting account and not a WordPress hosting account, you can use cPanel's Installatron to login to WordPress if you installed WordPress using Installatron. Disable this plugin once logged in.
  3. If you have a standard cPanel web hosting account, you can also use File Manager to temporarily rename the wp-content/plugins folder, then try logging in. (This technique is well documented and described on the Internet and YouTube so I'll spare you the instructions.)
  4. If you have FTP credentials or you can create them, you can use FTP to temporarily rename the wp-content/plugins folder.

If you want to be more specific, in options #3 and #4 can directly fix this by deleting this plugin's folder instead of renaming the plugins folder. It's a subfolder within the plugins folder. Once you delete this plugin's folder, you should be able to login without issue.

Good.... But... Passwords

By Marc Pitre (mpitre72) on August 9, 2023

This tool has the right idea. Easy to install and easy to use. Just rename and go.

But....

Here's the thing that seems to happen on every single website I install this on (4+ and counting).... The password reset no longer works. This has been happening for over a year now. It still sends the password reset email, but every single time when the link is clicked, you get "Error: Your password reset link appears to be invalid. Please request a new link below." It becomes an endless loop. Deactivate WPS Hide Login and everything works fine. I don't know what the issue is or why WPServeur, NicolasKulka, wpformation can't address this once and for all. If they did, I would rave about this plugin. Please fix it gents!

От этого плагина нет толку, адрес админки легко раскрывается при попытке пользователя восстановить пароль.

Small, fast and fine!

By Kerstin Willner (kerstinwillner) on January 31, 2023

Highly recommended, "lean" solution if you want to protect your website against automated attacks very quickly. I could'nt see any conflicts with other installations till now. If you offer this longer, it will be donated.

Plugin De-actives all other plugins

By (FlySwatter) on January 30, 2023

Just like a previous reviewer said:

"I still have the issue where my plugins are randomly deactivated weekly and I can't help but feel it's from this plugin. Has anyone ever had this issue? I'd like to just completely remove the plugin but can't seem to do it properly."
