WordPress security is one of the most important factors. Every day each WordPress website has to face more than 500 bot attacks that try to access the wp-admin page. In such a case, hardening the security is the only thing to save your website from such attacks. In this tutorial, we will look at how to change WordPress admin login URLs.
Usually, when you install WordPress, the login page URL is wp-admin, which is known to everyone. So changing this URL to something else would be a big plus while hardening the security of your WordPress website.
