 One of the basic features of wordpress is to avoid having users edit core
 files.
 It is impossible to properly customise wp-login without manually editing
 the file directly - not good for upgrades!

 Need to make login_header function pluggable or add a do_action hook
 before the <html....> tag
 Need to add a login_footer.

 In fact what is required was highlighted in #4478 complete with diff file.
 This was marked as resolved BUT IT WAS NOT! I agree it might be a
 duplicate of issue #9682 BUT the underlying issue of being able to
 overwrite the login-header function WAS **NOT** solved.

 (see recent support forum requests #252094  and #333994)

 The solution MUST allow a replacement of login header (and even better
 also a replacement of the </body></html> tags from the switch statement
 with a login_footer function which could also be overrided - pluggable).

 Thanks.

 In an ideal world need to re-open #4478 to ensure accurate resolution.

 Thanks
