iThemes Security Pro was updated to version 4.1.1, from version 4.0.0. Changelogs:
4.1.1
- Bug Fix: Fixed password-protected posts not properly handling the password when Hide Backend is enabled.
4.1.0
- Important: The way that Hide Backend functions changes in this release.
- Previously, if your Hide Backend Login Slug was wplogin, going to example.com/wplogin would result in the URL remaining example.com/wplogin. The new implementation of this feature results in a redirect to a URL that looks as follows: example.com/wp-login.php?itsec-hb-token=wplogin. While this may not be desireable for some users, this change was necessary to fix longstanding compatibility issues with other plugins.
- Once you access the login page using the Login Slug page, a cookie is set with an expiration time of one hour. As long as the cookie remains, you can access example.com/wp-login.php without having to access the Hide Backend Login Slug first. If you wish to confirm that Hide Backend is working properly on your site, opening up a private browsing window is a quick way to test without having to log out and clear cookies.
