How do I change the URL of the sign-in page in WordPress to improve website security?

In practice, this means that a robot trying to access the admin page and trying the most common passwords may not even get it because it does not know its exact address. The method can help eliminate a substantial portion of the unwanted load slowing down your website. Additionally, you can modify the address of your login page so you can remember it better.

The login page in WordPress administration is always at the default address in this form www.vase-webova-adresa.cz/wp-login.php. You may also use the abbreviated version www.vase-webova-adresa.cz/login. Once the URL is opened, the editorial system logo and the user name and password field appear./p>

To modify the address, we recommend using specialized plugins that provide a simple method of making the change without errors. Although it is possible to edit the page manually by editing the .php file, we do not recommend it in the vast majority of cases. WordPress will create a login page again at each update to overwrite your edits, which could lead to unnecessary problems.
