What happens when a bot tries to log in?

The bot’s IP address, user agent, and attempted credentials are logged in the database. If you enable the attempt limitation feature, the attacker’s IP will be blocked after 3 failed attempts.
-
Can I use /wp-admin as my fake path?
-
No. For safety and compatibility, the plugin prevents you from overriding reserved core WordPress paths like
/wp-adminor/wp-login.php.
