 * Hi,
 * We believe that security through obscurity is ineffective. If someone wants in
   bad enough they’ll find whatever has been hidden. WordPress also mentions avoiding
   using obscurity as a security method.

 * I hope that clarifies things,

 * Sometimes it’s not a matter of security at all. Most of my customers just feel
   a lot more confident using /dashboard or /panel ( in my case: /painel ) instead
   of /wp-admin
 * It would be very nice to have it implemented in Wordfence.

 * Thanks for the input, we’ve added it to our feature requests.
 * I can’t promise that every suggestion we get will make it into a release, or 
   when that might be, but every suggestion we get is evaluated carefully and considered
   seriously. We value the input we get from our customers. A member of our dev 
   team may or may not reach out to you here to ask for more detail. Thank you for
   helping to make Wordfence great.
