I have a Wordpress site on a VPS which keeps getting attached on xmlrpc and wp logins. As part of combatting this I password protected the wp-admin directory (via Cpanel 'Directory Privacy') - but when I go to test it I get browsers not loading the page due to 'too many redirects' (Safari and Chrome). As a plan B I've installed a WP plugin to rename the wp-admin address, but logging in to that redirects back to the same login page instead of successfully going to the dashboard, which also seems like a redirection.
Any possible solutions or logs I can look in that might shed some light?

Password protecting the wp-admin directory is not very helpful because wp-admin redirecting to yourdomain.com/wp-login.php

It is best to use two steps authentication or limit the number of login attempts.
