MaskMyAdmin
MaskMyAdmin is a lightweight WordPress plugin designed to enhance your login page security by:
– Replacing the default wp-admin and wp-login.php URLs with a custom login path of your choice
– Enforcing IP-based access controls for the WordPress dashboard and login screen
– Preventing unauthorized access or brute-force attempts by obscuring default login endpoints
Designed for site owners and developers who want to hide their admin panel from bots, attackers, or curious users.
Whether you’re running a blog, WooCommerce store, or enterprise WordPress install — MaskMyAdmin gives you a simple, intuitive way to lock down your admin entry points.
Features:
* Change wp-admin login path to a custom one (e.g., /secure-login)
* Optional IP-based whitelist — restrict dashboard access to specific IPs only
* Redirect blocked attempts to a custom page or homepage
* Progressive brute-force lockout (15 min → 1 hour → 24 hours)
* Activity log for login attempts and settings changes
* Email notifications for blocked IPs, failed logins, and settings changes
* Configurable proxy/CDN header for accurate IP detection (Cloudflare, Nginx, etc.)
* WP-CLI commands for emergency recovery and management
* Emergency disable via wp-config.php constant
* Defense-in-depth .htaccess rules for Apache servers (PHP handles all server types)
* Lightweight and fast — minimal performance impact
* Clean uninstall — all data removed when plugin is deleted
