    A lot of security tutorials suggest changing admin login, Can I change my login page ?
    if I do will I have issues?

    can I restrict logins to allow just my country?

    Hello @akgt and thanks for reaching out to us!

    While some securities do suggest that, in my experience, it’s best not to change it. A lot of our security features rely on the default login page wp-admin/wp-login. With how bots crawl sites now, finding someone’s hidden login page is no issue, but cracking into it is what we prevent. Using our 2FA and a complex password will prevent anyone from gaining access via the default login, so it’s not something you should worry about.

    This is a good article from 2017 on our blog that talks about why you shouldn’t change the login URL.

    As for your question about restricting to your country only, Country Blocking is a Wordfence Premium feature. We arent allowed to talk about those features here but you can reach out to presales @ wordfence . com if you’re interested.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks for the reply, would it help if a google reCaptcha is also used?
