```php
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', function () {
    $path = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/login.css';

    if ( file_exists( $path ) ) {
        wp_enqueue_style( 'wpide-theme-login', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/login.css', array( 'login' ), (string) filemtime( $path ) );
    }
} );

## Notes

The file version updates automatically when you edit it, so browsers do not keep an old copy.
