Hi there,
In this topic :

? I think we should improve this confusing humans behavior so the form will use the default login URL, not the configured one. ?I think you really should because, as per your documentation, with the other option “Block access to wp-login.php” :
? There is only one downside you should think about. If an attacker is smart enough, they may continue scanning the website, searching for your real login page. ?I pretty sure an attacker is smart enough to inspect the code of the wp-login.php page and get the custom url.
That’s an even bigger downside. Even a bot could find this url in the HTML code.Thanks for the good work anyway, but I’m gonna use “Block access to wp-login.php” option for now.
Please keep me posted here when this behavior has been changed.Regards,
