Login Guard moves your sign-in page to a secret address only you know. The robots that try password after password on wp-login.php all day find a "page not found" instead.
One free sign-up gets you Login Guard and 5 more free ResultsAiX plugins.
Robots know it, so they visit wp-login.php and /wp-admin/ around the clock and try password after password. Even when they never get in, every attempt makes your server work and fills your logs. Move the door, and they knock on a wall instead.
Your login form answers at an address you choose, like yoursite.com/my-secret-door/, and every link WordPress writes to the login page uses it automatically.
Anyone who tries wp-login.php sees your site's own "page not found", drawn by your theme, with no login form and no hint that one exists.
Signed-out visitors to /wp-admin/ get a real "page not found" too, so the address can't be given away by a redirect. Or send them to a page you choose.
Logging out, lost password, password resets, registration and password-protected posts all work exactly as before, at your new address.
Hide my login is a single switch in Settings. Turn it off and your login is back at the normal address, with your secret address kept for when you turn it on again.
Every administrator is emailed the address when it goes live and every time it changes, with a Sign in button, so it's always one search away.
Forgot your address? There are four ways back in, from easiest to last resort.
Every administrator was emailed the address when it went live and again whenever it changed. Open the newest email and press Sign in.
Go to yoursite.com/?login-help and type your administrator email. The address is emailed to you, and never shown on the page, so strangers learn nothing.
Your address sits on your WordPress Dashboard and on the Login Guard Dashboard tab, with a Copy button.
One line in wp-config.php switches the disguise off so wp-login.php works again. Take the line out and your secret address is back, unchanged.
Login Guard can take over from one of the most widely used free hide-login plugins, and it keeps the address you already sign in at.
No need to switch anything off first.
It reads the address you already sign in at and makes it its own, exactly as it is, with where blocked visitors go.
Your old plugin is switched off for you, nothing of it is deleted, and every administrator is emailed the address. Nothing changes for anyone who signs in.
Yes. It's one of six free ResultsAiX WordPress plugins. One free sign-up gets you all six in your own free members area, with every update.
No. This was the number one design goal. Your address is emailed to every administrator, there's a "forgot where to sign in?" page that emails it to you, it's on your Dashboard while you're signed in, and one line in wp-config.php switches the disguise off if you ever need it.
A free key, issued on the spot to your name and email, unlocks the Login Guard screens. Your login stays protected either way, and updates arrive through your normal Plugins screen.
No. They all keep working at your new address, and the links WordPress sends in emails use it automatically.
