Defyn Security Manager – Hide Login, 2FA & Brute-Force Protection

Defyn Security Manager is a lightweight WordPress security plugin that hides your login page and locks down the back end. Most attacks on WordPress start at one predictable place: <code>/wp-admin</code> and <code>/wp-login.php</code>. Defyn Security Manager moves that door, throttles attackers, adds two-factor authentication, and records every attempt so you always know who is knocking.
No bloat, no upsell walls, and no account required. Install it, choose a secret login slug, and your login page disappears from bots and scanners.
<h4>What it does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Hide the WordPress login URL. Replace <code>/wp-admin</code> and <code>/wp-login.php</code> with any custom login URL you choose, so automated bots and brute-force scripts hit a dead end.</li>
<li>Decoy or 404 the old URLs. Decide what attackers see at the original login addresses: a 404, a redirect, or a decoy login screen.</li>
<li>Brute-force protection. Limit login attempts and automatically lock out IP addresses after repeated failures, with a one-click control to clear active lockouts.</li>
<li>Two-factor authentication (2FA). Add TOTP-based two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, Microsoft Authenticator or Bitwarden, complete with backup codes and per-role enforcement.</li>
<li>REST API and XML-RPC protection. Extend two-factor enforcement to the REST API and XML-RPC, with optional API hiding to shrink your attack surface.</li>
<li>Time-window access control. Only allow logins during the hours and days you actually work, and block everything else.</li>
<li>IP allowlisting. Optionally restrict back-end access to trusted IP addresses or CIDR ranges.</li>
<li>Activity log and audit trail. See login attempts, lockouts, scans of your old login URLs, and settings changes in one searchable log.</li>
<li>Email alerts. Get notified about lockouts, scans, and logins from new IP addresses.</li>
</ul>
