How can someone try to login with a hidden Login?

  • I use the WP Hidden Login plugin so it changes the login page from WP-Admin to what ever I set. I am getting so many alerts about invalid login attemps but how can they try to sign in, if they don’t know the login page?

  • Exactly! I have the same concern. There is no difference in failed login attempts between with hidden login (login by new, unknown path) and without it. Therefore, it looks like the numbers of prevented failed attempts provided by “Limit Login Attempts” plugin are just fake! Actually, I have sent this question to the sales team of “Limit Login Attempts” plugin, but they ignored me. So, do not rush to install this plugin: in the best case, it doesn’t do anything for your website, but in the worst case it is an email collector for spam providers.

    Good response. I just changed my login to a new one and the next day I got 2 alerts that the login had been shut down multiple times. There is no way someone could get the new login path and actually try to login. If they entered wp-login, that shows a page not found and should not count as an invalid login. Just trying to figure out why I’m getting all tese emails.
