Limit login attempts

Change WordPress login URL

After you change the default wp-admin URL, you can set a 404 for the old login page or redirect it to any page of your choosing.
GDPR login page consent notice
Easily meet GDPR requirements by adding a GDPR consent notice to the login page. This is required for GDPR and PCI DSS compliance, thus ensuring your WordPress site login page is in compliance.
