But to do all this stuff and customize your website without WordPress login URL is next to impossible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">This is the only link through which a user or other members can get easy access to the admin dashboard and manages it. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_4d0bcebd-40b7-4eaa-9d3e-72980a05d5e3\"><hr class=\"ub_divider\" ><\/hr><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Hide or Change WordPress Login URL?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Hiding or changing your WordPress Login URL is another security measure one should always practice. However, the primary and most important security measure should be using a high-security password for accessing your WordPress URLs. Because Hackers try multiple methods such as malware attacks, hacking the website, or Bruce force attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">From the above three attacks, Brute Force is the most common one. Where hackers by the hit or trial method guess your website username and password multiple times. Unless or until the website got hacked. Hackers use a combination of different username and password script, that runs automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Hence, You might have seen, that these platforms always asked you to put strong passwords, a minimum of 8 characters and the combination should be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Your name or date of birth should not be used<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upper case<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower case<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimum1 digit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Special characters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Enabling a double security layer on your website will become tough for hackers to get through it. Changing a WordPress Login URL not only boosts up the website security but also defines your brand. You can change WordPress Login URLs by two methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>By Customizing the login page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By using WordPress Plugins (Most Preferable)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By editing the <strong>.htaccess file<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Customizing the login page is not preferable to be used. Because you do not like to mess with Website core files. Even a slight mistake would result in a catastrophe for your website. That you never might like it to happen. But still, if You want to use it, You can go to the <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Customizing_the_Login_Form#Make_a_Custom_Login_Page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress Customizing the login page<\/a>.

It happens so instantly that you do even not get time to customize. You must remember the new login URL, to avoid future logins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And the second point worth remembering is that, once you no longer use the custom login URL. You can deactivate or delete the plugin from your WordPress.
