What happens to wp-login.php after enabling the plugin?

When enabled, direct access to wp-login.php is blocked. Only the custom login URL you define will work. This prevents bots and attackers from targeting the default login URL.

Can I still access wp-admin directly?

If you are not logged in, direct access to /wp-admin/ will redirect you to the custom login URL. After logging in, /wp-admin/ works normally.
