Because the login page provides administrative access, it is the most common target for hackers (specifically via Brute Force Attacks). Here are critical steps to secure it:

| Practice | Why it matters | |----------|----------------| | Use strong passwords | Prevents brute-force attacks | | Limit login attempts (plugin) | Blocks repeated failed logins | | Change default username (never use "admin") | Harder to guess credentials | | Two-factor authentication (2FA) | Extra layer of security | | reCAPTCHA on login form | Stops bots | | Rename login URL (plugin like WPS Hide Login) | Hides /wp-admin from attackers | | Disable XML-RPC | Prevents certain brute-force attacks | | Keep WordPress + plugins updated | Fixes known vulnerabilities |
