I have dynamic IP address and I am trying to find the solution to limit the access to wp-admin. It seems that the only option is to block the access by domain name by using a Dynamic DNS Manager instead of IP address. Are there any alternatives?

What has the dynamic IP? The client or the server? – schroeder Aug 27 '19 at 06:31

"I have" -- my question is who the "I" is. The server or the client? – schroeder Aug 30 '19 at 13:14

What about using client certificates for the particular URI?
eg: Access to https://example.com/
is allowed, but for https://example.com/wp-admin
the client needs to provide a valid certificate.

Thats true, but most people would use the same as the wp admin password, so when you got one you can login to wp. – RolfRisiko Aug 27 '19 at 11:56
