Beskrivelse
Khushal Login Path Guard is a WordPress security plugin that allows you to change your default login URL and protect your site from common attack vectors. The plugin blocks brute-force attempts, prevents user enumeration, secures sensitive files, and hides WordPress information from potential attackers. All blocked paths display 404 errors (Stealth Mode) instead of redirects, making your site invisible to attackers.
