2. Scroll down to Secure WP Admin Login Settings
3. Define your custom login slug (e.g., /my-secret-login)
4. Optionally define a redirect URL for unauthorized access attempts

1. Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/secure-wp-admin-login
2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu in WordPress
3. Go to Settings → Permalinks to configure your custom login slug

Disable the plugin via FTP by renaming or deleting the plugin folder.
Alternatively, you can reset the secure_login_slug option directly from the database (e.g., via phpMyAdmin).
