   Thanks. I found it helpful.
   I want to ask if the methods are all offering the same level of security, I would prefer and recommend to stick to the first method as it seems easy and straight forward.

   Or is there any one that is better than the other ??

     These are different methods to achieve the same result so it would depend on your preference for which one you would use.

   Is there anyway for hackers to gain access to this password and even change it, like in phpMyAdmin ?

     They would need access to your hosting provider or site files for this guide.

   I have changed my login URL using the “WPS Hide Login” plugin. Lets say the previous URL ended in wp-admin/ and the new URL ends in hidden/ now how can I password protect this new URL?

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     It would depend on what method you are using and how you changed the URL, as long as there is a file/folder in the new location you should be able to select that folder or change the path on line 2 of the htaccess method

     WPShide doesn’t create a new folder, I use that too. The wp-admin folder is still on the server and functional. So if you use WPSHide, secure the wp-admin folder exactly the same.

   A good practice is also to rename the WordPress administration URL and choose a different administrator username than ‘admin.’ Changing the URL makes it harder for attackers to locate the administration, and not using ‘admin’ as the administrator reduces the risk of a successful brute force attack.

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     Having a username other than admin is definitely recommended but for changing the wp-admin url is not always recommended as that can cause trouble with some plugins as well as make troubleshooting more difficult.

   What if someone accesses our WordPress admin directory by entering mywebsite.com/wp-login.php instead of mywebsite.com/wp-admin. This method only protects wp-admin and not protects wp-login.php. So how it is useful?

     This would show the same prompt for users trying to log in using the wp-login.php

   The first method through cPanel worked like a charm. However, when I logout again from WP and login again it doesn’t ask again for the directory password. Is it meant to ask only once?

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     Your cookies/cache will remember the login information. Normally the next time you start up your computer it will require you to log in again.

    What i have to do so that it appear only at wp-admin page?

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      It sounds like you may have password protected your public_html folder instead of the wp-admin folder. You would want to remove the current protection and attempt to set it up again

    I have activated password protection to wordpress directory via c-panel but wordfence is unable to scan my site. Due to ajax issue.

    > Upload this file outside your /public_html/ directory.

    Good advice—more generally: outside your DocRoot.

    > A good path would be: home/user/.htpasswds/public_html/wp-admin/passwd/

    That, however, doesn’t seem to be outside your DocRoot

    hi syed, i followed your tutorial as i do always whenever i find a problem but i am facing this error continiously.

    ERROR –

    “401
    Unauthorized

    Proper authorization is required to access this resource!”

    1. I made htpassword file properly with user name and password.
    2. Edited main .htaccess file with proper code.
    3. Implemented this line in .htaccess file on topas first line
    ErrorDocument 401 default
    4. Add AJAX functionality code

    After doing all this i see additional popup box which need login details for wp-admin. – Success here

    But i’m not able to access my home page like example.com. popupbox appears again without calling /wp-admin. Please tell how to remove this 401 Error. I see that many bloggers asked this issue in comment section, but you didn’t reply. I hope you will soon address the problem.

      Hello Pawan,

      This could be because the password your entered is incorrect or your server couldn’t find the .htpasswds file. We will recommend you to retrace your steps to figure out what went wrong.

        I am seeing the same issue. On subpages on my site, when I have my /wp-admin/ .htaccess password protecting my site, I get the user/pass pop-up box on pages on the front end.

        The temporary solution was to just remove the htaccess file from wp-admin. Now i am trying to put it back, so I’ll see what i can come up with and post back if i figure it out.

    Thank you for this. I worked really well especially that line “ErrorDocument 401 default” that prevented it from giving 404 error. I really dont miss tweet from you.

    A very nice approach, but I also suggest to go secure with https, because no matter how protected the admin panel is, with passwords, the passwords itself are not secure if it’s not https.

    Can I do this for my wp-login?

    The wp-admin is password protected and gives out a 401 if some tries to exit the pop-up (so 0 access without the 1st password).

    But my wp-login allows access to a disfigured wp-login page if someone exits out of the pop-up.

        • WPBeginner Support

          Hi Frank,

          Sorry for misunderstanding your question. You can track http authentication in your server logs. However, usually these logs contain all access and errors to your website. Some website hosts offer apps in cPanel that make it easier to browse those logs. On some hosting environments you can even create custom log files of your own.
