| Pros | 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 | Sanitises SVG uploads before they are stored; Shows SVG previews in the media library; Choose which user roles can upload SVG files |
| Cons | 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 | SVG optimiser is off by default and needs a code filter; Settings are limited to the upload role choice; Sanitising rules decide what markup survives, so check designs after upload |
