| Pros | Forces HTTPS for login and admin with no configuration; Rewrites insecure links for logged-in users; Single file with no settings or database tables | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Last tested with WordPress 5.2.2 and not updated since 2019; Requires a working SSL certificate on the site; Sends a Location header on anonymous page loads (nohttps) | Hiding the URL is not a substitute for login rate limiting; Forgotten login URLs lock editors out until the plugin is disabled; Maintained without guaranteed free support |
