Is it possible to hide "/wp-login"?

Entering a string into the *Configure WAF > Change admin URL* field successfully hides "/wp-admin" and "wp-login.php" but not "wp-login". The latter is not mentioned in the help text beneath the field, so it works as expected. But I wonder if it can possibly be included.

I should have thought of that: I added a redirect from `wp-login` to `wp-login.php` via Tools > URL redirection, and it works fine. I did not see any disadvantage ...

So, no urgency, and I close this ticket to save everybody's time.
