Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 Just noting this has come up multiple times before, please see the
 previous discussions in #7194, #13118, #15289, #21924, #24673, #38444,
 #38800, #44552.

 To summarize, the `wp-login.php` or `wp-admin` URLs are not intended to be
 customizable, as that's just security through obscurity and doesn't really
 help with anything, so there are currently no plans to implement this in
 core.

 To improve website security, I would suggest following these general
 recommendations instead:

 * Have strong password (at least 24 characters long, with numbers and
 special characters).
 * Don't give Administrator or Editor access to people you don't completely
 trust.
 * Download plugins and themes from official resources only.
 * Keep WordPress, plugins, and themes updated to the latest stable
 version.
