I have been using Admintools and Akeeba Backup for years now so am fairly familiar with the products.
One of the problems I have is logging into Joomla. I need to first remove the file provider.php in the folder plugins>system>admintools>services.
What can I do to be able to access my Joomla sites without having to first removed and then add this file back?
Go to Components, Admin Tools for Joomla!, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, Basic Features and remove the "Administrator secret URL parameter".

So that means that if I want the administrator area to be protected I have to rename the provider.php file every time. The other option is not have the administrator directory protected.
No, absolutely not! That would not make sense.
You gave me zero information about what is going on, essentially asking me to guess. I guessed that your problem is you don't know how to use the Administrator Secret URL Parameter, because that's the most common problem people ask help with.
For all I know it could be you using the wrong URL, or having special characters in the secret URL parameter, or having enabled the admin IP whitelist, or needing to enable Joomla's "Behind load balancer", or your IP already blocked... I can't possibly know without any information. Can you give me any more specific information so I can help you better? Thank you in advance.

Thanks you very much. Your questions provided me with the answer and I have now solved the problem. All working again.
Out of curiosity, what was the problem? This helps me have a better picture of how likely is each problem to occur.

I had neglected to change the secret password on a number of sites but had changed it for my login system. Once updated the problem was gone.
That makes perfect sense, and it was the second most common problem on my mental list 🙂 Thank you for the feedback!
