 * Any slug for the login will work to prevent a “blind” bot from brute-force attacking
   your site.
 * It will not; however, prevent a bot with some intelligence behind it from finding
   your new login page.
 * To further prevent bots from using resources by hitting the new 404 page, make
   sure that the 404 page is static and does not use the database.
