Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records VanishLogin version 1.0.2 as active, updated 3d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Hide your login page. Starve the bots.
php on every WordPress site — thousands of password guesses a day, around the clock. They can only attack a door they can find. php to a custom login URL that only you and your team know.
VanishLogin moves that door. php stops answering anyone who is logged out. Your access logs go quiet, your server stops wasting resources on bot traffic, and password guessing has nowhere to land.
What it does
Hide your login page — change wp-login.php to any secret slug, with live validation, a live URL preview, and one-click copy
Choose what intruders get — logged-out visitors hitting wp-login.php or wp-admin receive a 404, your homepage, or a custom URL of your choice
Intruder IP log — every hit on the old login page, grouped by IP with hit counts and last-seen times; block or unblock any IP in one click (blocked IPs are refused everywhere, including the secret login URL — and you can never block your own IP)
Modern settings dashboard — protection status pill, blocked-intruder hit counter, and your full login URL at a glance
Never get locked out — a one-line emergency bypass in wp-config.php disables protection instantly, and logged-in users are never blocked
Plays well with others — password reset, logout, registration, and re-auth links keep working; pairs perfectly with 2FA and limit-login-attempts plugins
How it works
Turn protection on and pick your secret slug.
Share the new login URL with your team — bookmark it.
Bots keep knocking on wp-login.php and get a 404. You log in at your secret address like always.
Built like a security tool should be
Small codebase, no tracking, no telemetry, no upsells — 100% free under the GPL
Nothing leaves your server; the intruder log is stored in your own database
Honest about its layer: hiding the login page removes the target, and pairs with 2FA and login-attempt limiting for defense in depth
