Using HTACCESS for Secret Access

I saw this post yesterday http://digwp.com/2011/01/simpler-login-url/ where a ‘custom’ word is used to direct the user from url.com/admin to url.com/wp-login.php and I’m asking (also did so in the comments without an answer) if its possible to deny any access to the admin unless used a secret url, so if a user is not logged in and tries url.com/wp-admin or wp-login.php he’s denied access and only if he tries url.com/my-secret he’s then redirected to the admin?

thoughts?

  1. I don’t think that’s possible using .htaccess alone.

    Even if it were, what would be the usefulness of keeping a secret which would be displayed in plain text in the URL bar?
