  • Hello all, I had the same problem of not being able to find my login page after activating better wp security, and here is how I solved it.
    Like Handoko said, I went to my .htaccess file through FTP and downloaded to my local hard drive. Here you must be careful because there are 2 .htaccess files. One is in the main folder and the other one is in the /wordpress folder. You need the one in the /wordpress folder.
    After downloading, I used wordpad to open it. I went to the line where it says: (for me, I had to scroll down almost all the way to the end)

    RewriteRule ^.*$ /wordpress/wp-login.php?secretkey

    You must copy EXACTLY, after the $ sign, the whole thing into your web browser. For me it looked like this:

    http://www.mydomain.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?secretkey

    Notice that the ? (question mark) is included. So you copy paste into your web browser and you´re done. Then the login page will pop up and you can enter your user and password as you normally would.

    I hope this helps some people because it helped me.

    PS: secretkey= a bunch of random characters. I put secretkey for obvious reasons but you will see a long string of characters instead.
