 > Okay guys thanks for hearing me out. I didn't hear any kind of valid
 technical argument against obscure URL for security here, so in case there
 is an interest to follow up with that for sake of getting to the bottom of
 it, I'm all ears.

 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory giving
 WordPress its own directory] as in http://my-site.com/1m1f9ioz8hr3qljr/wp-
 admin, which is good enough for me.

 this does not help to hide the location of the wp-admin page

 your style.css file will be located in my-site.com/1m1f9ioz8hr3qljr/wp-
 content/ ... /style.css and this information from the html source code is
 enough to get the wp-admin page, as it is: my-site.com/1m1f9ioz8hr3qljr
 /wp-admin/

 :)
