You would add ONLY your default admin htaccess code to this BPS wp-admin Custom Code text box: CUSTOM CODE WPADMIN TOP:
Add wp-admin password protection, IP whitelist allow access & miscellaneous custom code here
You do not need to add the FilesMatch condition for wp-login.php. ie in order to login to your website someone would be accessing your wp-admin folder. The WordPress Login page redirects into the wp-admin folder. The Directory Password Protection prompts for a password since the wp-admin directory is password protected. After adding your wp-admin directory protection code click the Save wp-admin Custom Code button and activate wp-admin BulletProof Mode.
