Admin log in on site with no logins I'm working on a site that, in production, will have no logins. We've gone with Drupal to facilitate the creating and editing of content by non-experts.

My question is, in this scenario, what's the best practice for allowing an administrator to log in? Since there no login on the main site, how does an admin access it?

I know there's the standard page mysite.com/user or mysite.com/user/login. Leaving that out there where knowledgeable users could find it seems less than ideal to me.

Is that how people do it? Or is there another way?
Those pages are, by default, blocked in the Drupal generated robots.txt file meaning that it's very unlikely a "regular user" will stumble on them.

Someone would have to know you were using Drupal, and then type in that URL.  You're right though:  many people will know how to do that.

However, it's not a big deal.  Your admin account password should be strong enough that it cannot be guessed at.  Drupal is quite secure.  You have nothing to fear about leaving that login form where it is unless your passwords are really, really bad.

The amount of effort to re-create the login pages elsewhere does not make any sense in this case.
