1. Log in with username + password
Logging into WordPress is easy. The default WordPress login URL is example.com/wp-admin/. Depending on the host, you may also be able to access your website's login page using these suffixes: /admin/ and /login/. Simply enter your username + password. These are the credentials you chose when you created your website. When creating your website, it is important to remember these credentials. Otherwise you could be locked out.
To avoid having to enter your username or password each time you access your site, you can check the "Remember Me” box. This will save your login information on your device. Clearing your cookies will not reverse this and you will need to enter your credentials again on your next visit.
Many web browsers save login credentials to make it easier for you to remember them later. While this can be very convenient, you should avoid saving your login credentials on shared browsers and devices where others might be able access them.
