Block wp-login vs Defyn Security Manager – Hide Login, 2FA & Brute-Force Protection
Both plugins as this registry currently observes them. Figures come from the same daily snapshot, so they are directly comparable, which two separate wordpress.org pages, read minutes apart, are not.
| Block wp-login | Defyn Security Manager – Hide Login, 2FA & Brute-Force Protection | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Blocks direct access to wp-login.php and replaces it with a secret login URL to reduce brute-force traffic on Apache servers. | Hide wp-admin behind a custom login URL and stop brute-force attacks with two-factor authentication, login limits, IP rules and an activity log. |

Install figures are rounded by WordPress.org to one significant digit, so a gap smaller than a band step is not a difference. Nothing here ranks the two plugins or recommends either, and no link on this page earns anything.
Why this page is not in search results
There are roughly 1.8 billion possible pairs of WordPress plugins. Generating them would be scaled content abuse, so this registry does not: a comparison renders for anyone who asks for it, and is offered to search engines only once 25 different people have asked for that same pair within 60 days. This one has been requested by 0. Until it crosses, the page works normally but stays out of the index.
