2024 → This plugin DOES work.
Looks like nobody read the FAQ: The plugin doesn’t work !?!? Yeah, probably. This plugin uses what’s called “pluggable functions” supported in WordPress to replace wp_set_auth_cookie function.This means that any other plugin that tampers with the login cookie parameters will override this plugin, and this plugin may not even get a chance to do what it does. In my case, the issue was with the plugin WPS Hide Login. Disable that other plugin and this plugin worked correctly.EDIT: In case you still want to change the login URL, use the plugin Admin login URL Change.

This plugin does not work
This plugin does not work for me. In addition, after I installed it, I could not log back in to the WordPress backend. Had to disable the plugin through WP Engine to gain back the access. waste of time.
