Hi Robin, Thanks for that bit of perpective on the whole thing. I always use generated passwords for important logins like admin that I could not possibly remember, as you may have guessed! Wordpfence looks like soemthign that woudl replace the plugin I have which is Shield (free version).
From the point of view of users of the site I can see that having a url with ‘login’ in it, makes a sort of sense for those who look at the url.
Thanks again
Just me being dumb. I sort of got frightened byt eh exhortaions I have seen to change the default login url for security reasons and was extrapolating that this needed to be kept relatively secure! But I take your point!
So the main thing is that it is changed. Making me wonder if I should change it to something that is more recognisable as a login but still pretty unique?
I take it that the login url(s) on this site are database generated? Or will WordPress doa similar thing for our site?
Thanks for the very quick reply Robin. And for the tips. Not sure I have been very clear. As you say I have changed my admin login from the default for security reasons. When I received the registration email though (presumably from WordPress?) is showed a link to confirm registration that inlcuded my altered wp login url; I don’t really want to be publicising that to everyone who registers for the forum. Is it possibel to avoid this?
Maybe that I am missing soemthing obvious been at it a while today and need to take a break.
