| Editions | All-In-One Security (AIOS) · AIOS Premium ($) | Rename wp-login.php |
| Pros | Two-factor login included in the free version; PHP firewall plus .htaccess 5G and 6G rule sets; Audit log and file change detection with email alerts; Login lockout, renamed login URL and CAPTCHA options | No core file changes and no rewrite rules added; Deactivating the plugin restores the default login behaviour; Works on multisite with a network-wide default slug |
| Cons | Malware scanning and country blocking are Premium only; Many options; some .htaccess rules can break sites if misapplied; Database backup tab relies on UpdraftPlus | Hides the login URL only; it is not brute-force protection; Page caches must exclude the new login URL; No support forum; support is through GitHub |
