Really pleased with Hide My WP Ghost
Over the years I have used a few plugins that let you hide the WP admin login page by changing the URL etc but every time I have used one its caused so many issues I have had to uninstall. Hide My WP Ghost just works.
As of yet I have yet to encounter an issue with the plugin, that being said on some of my more complex sites, I have only used "Safe mode" so far, but the fact this is an option is so useful. Hide My WP Ghost makes it super simple to setup but then you can customise it if you wish and make the security stronger.
Having a few issues with the cloud dashboard not being able to verify websites but hopefully this will get sorted.
Couple of suggestions otherwise perfect:
- Brute force protection: Would be great if the math recaptcha only comes up after failed login attempts not always (actually unsure if this is how it works? As I have my IP whitelisted, thinking for other users). It would also be great if there was an option (that you could choose to enable due to privacy) that works like Jetpack brute force, where IP is checked against a bad list and if its bad then automatically either blocks or makes things harder on them.
- Cloud dashboard: Would be nice if we could do more from this. Tweak settings or even if we could see at a glance what's enabled on each site e,g. X site is in Ghost mode, X site has brute force enabled with ticks etc next to each site maybe. This'd be really useful.
Thanks for the great plugin!

Having a few issues with the cloud dashboard not being able to verify websites but hopefully this will get sorted. << have you let our support team know about this? If yes, then you will be sure to get a reply from them as soon as possible.
Currently, the Math reCAPTCHA shows for every login request (not just for failed attempts). Thank for your suggestions and for letting us know what would make Hide My WP Ghost even better for you.
It was particularly interesting to read your feedback on how we can improve the Cloud dashboard. We are constantly looking for new ways to make HMWP Ghost the best it can be, and your feedback and ideas are extremely valuable to us. :)
