Want to customize and stylize your WordPress login page?
Who wouldn’t like to do that? It adds our personality to the most important page of our WordPress site.
With the power of plugins, we can do whatever we want with our WordPress blog or website in the matter of customization. At least one plugin would be available for any customization you wish to make on your WordPress blog.
The very first page that we see when we start working on our WordPress blog’s dashboard is the Login Page. In this blog post, I am going to introduce you to the top three plugins to create your very own custom login page.
By default, the login page of WordPress is as shown below:
One should customize their login page because it’s another cool thing you could do on your blog and add personalization.
Customizing the login page makes your blog look more yours. You can add logo and include the branding on the login page.
Many of the business WordPress websites with hundreds of authors must have their branding exposure from this type of customizations. Many premium sites built on WordPress already have their custom login pages. Anyhow, you can always customize your login page as per your liking and interest.
List of 3 best plugins for a custom WordPress Login Page
Custom Login Page Customizer
This plugin is my first choice to create a custom login page for my WordPress blogs. It has more than seventy thousand active installs, making it the most popular plugin for creating custom login pages. Using this plugin, we can customize our login page directly from the regular customizer which we often make use to customize the theme of our WordPress blog.
On the left pane of your WordPress Customizer window, you will see the option of Login Customizer; under it, you have many options to edit and customize the login page as shown in the following screenshot.
This plugin, I feel, will become more powerful as there are expectations of releasing the custom login page templates and advanced authentification feature soon. Moreover, one remarkable feature that this plugin already has is the security add-on, using which, we can add captcha based security method on our WordPress login page to make it more secure. Here is an example of custom login page created using this WordPress plugin.
Custom Login
This feature-laden plugin has many advanced features to make your login page look exciting. However, we can’t customize the login page via the customizer, but it has separate and detailed options in its very own settings page as shown below.
You need to be a little more technically sound to customize the login page. You also have the support of customizing your WordPress Blog’s login page via making use of Custom CSS, HTML or jQuery. The Best part if this plugin is that every part of the login page has to be customized separately and it offers various types of customizations for each element. The whole login page is separated into sections like the Logo (which includes all the options related to the logo and the background, Login Form, below area of Anchor and Miscellaneous.
Custom Login (Login Page Styler)
This plugin is not as popular as those mentioned above but has the same ability to create beautiful custom login pages. It’s a multi-feature plugin offering some of the features in the free version while access to all of its features requires a premium upgrade. All the things that you can customize with the two plugins listed above can also be done with this plugin.
Owing to its premium nature, it offers a better flexibility of creating login pages. If you are looking to create a login page for your business website, this might be the exact choice for you. You can guess from the following login page created using this plugin, how powerful this plugin is.

hi sir,
I’ve faced a problem logging in my WordPress. I’ve already installed Jetpack plugin in my WordPress and now it is showing that jetpack sees suspicious login in your account and they’ve given a link to redirect it from mail and to change the password and when I click that link it is showing an error page.
What to do now?

Hi Harsh,
Now finally we can change the look of our old and boring WordPress login page.
Thank you for this article.
Hey harsh, Thank you for teaching about Customising WordPress login page. It was really helpful for me ! But One thing i want to ask that I think These Plugin makes the login page or site slower. Can you please help me in this.
Well , Thanks for the information
Mudit!
It didn’t affect the efficiency of WP. It is a good plugin for use.
The “Custom Login Page Customizer” plugin is the best of all. I always use it.
Thanks for sharing this valuable article.
My developer did this Harsh. Cool way to feel like I’ve a neat site! He has palm trees and pure seas in the background. Perfect for my Blogging From Paradise blog and brand. Thanks for the rocking post bro 🙂
@Ryan
Just visited your login page and yes it looks really neat and your style. Good one 🙂
Thanks Harsh for sharing this idea
I would give a try to customize login page in near future
It’s very useful for someone like me because I have different article writers on some of my sites and everyone has to login with different username/pasw. It will be a great thing if I can customize the login page for all of them and give it a new look.
Does it also offer security features like blocking login attacks or it’s only for styling login page?
@Mary
For the security features, you can use other plugins.
One that I definitely use is change the login URL

Hi I hope you are on self hosted wordpress blog, If yes. You can use any ftp Client to upload files to your server. We recommend Filezilla.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the Comment Himanshu 🙂
It’s a good plugin dude.
It is, but as mentioned by George, the other way of changing your wordpress dashboard login page is much better. We will update that trick as soon as possible. Though this plugin is very good for people who don’t have enough time to make changes.
Any other option other than this plugin ?. Actually I am unable to configure this plugin properly..
A free plugin called my theme login can do that…
It create a different login page which you can style with CSS and can also edit theme files.
Hope that helps.
nice post… usefull info guy…
