Protect WP Admin
Description
Protect WP Admin adds an extra security layer to your WP site by allowing you to rename and secure the wp-admin and wp-login.php URLs.
You can change the default admin URL, restrict access to the dashboard by roles or specific user IDs, and customize the login page colors and logo. This plugin helps stop bots and hackers from brute-forcing your login page, making it ideal for any site looking to increase login security without modifying core files.
The pro version offers additional features such as renaming wp-admin completely, setting login attempt limits, tracking login history, and more style controls.
