Using /wp-admin works, using /login gives a 404. Why?

1. /wp-admin/ is an existing directory, your server just adds the missing /.
   /login is … nothing. The correct name is /wp-login.php.

   If you have enabled permalinks it should work though.

   To make /login always work add the following line to your .htaccess above the WordPress rules:

   Redirect Permanent /login /wp-login.php
   

   You can and should localize it if you use other languages:

   # login in German
   Redirect Permanent /anmelden /wp-login.php

2. /login is not a valid url unless you have edited your .htaccess to redirect it correctly.

   perhaps you are looking for /wp-login.php
