After looking everywhere for a solution i found a fix , for anyone under attack and reading this and (like me) has no time to wait for support to wake up:
1) install 404 page plugin (safe link) this plugin.
2) After that assign this to a specific page you want as a 404 page by visiting settings-> 404 page
Hit save (even when the page is showing there!)
3) Go to HMWP settings and set 404 page to ” Use default 404 page from theme” option. (Dont change wp-login.php now, first hit save)
Hit save
4) IMPORTANT: after step 1, 2 and 3 now you can (must) rename the wp-login.php in HMWP settings (in order HMWP to rewrite htaccess rules)
Hit save
5) test your site http://www.siteadress.com/wp-login.php and check if this get redirected the right way. Check if the the query params are not send now. So the “hidden” login stays “hidden”
@HMWP support : recreate the custom 404 page function like the handler of the 404 plugin does and this is solved.
This also seems to solve conflicts with Ithemes security plugin which also works perfect now
Is this fixed yet???
“Okay, so you are concerned about the login secret (key-login=1234). You don’t want this to be shown in the redirect URL after someone looks for domain.com/wp-login.php, right? We’ll further look into this and let you know.”
Isn’t it the overal goal to hide it ?
As i see other users are also mention this :

OK – here is the situation:
Hide Login Page checked
Login Query set
Admin Login Key set
All are set correctly.try wp-login.php without the query params – get 404 page (this is goodness)
However, the TITLE of the 404 page contains all the query information needed (this is SEVERE BADNESS). Also, when you hover over the tab in the browser, the title is displayed, showing the query params.This is not good for security – the title should not contain the query params.
The hacker only has to change the “&” to “?” in the url and they can access the login form
As the attacks are ongoing now we need asap support please
Happy all is solved 🙂
