Allow log in to the dashboard only from specific gadget?

If you have static IP, simplest way would be to use the htaccess allow deny rules:

  1. Find your IP (let’s say its 1.1.1.1 for your tablet and
    10.10.10.10 for your PC)
  2. Find the htaccess file in your WordPress installation (create one if
    it doesn’t exist) and then add the following rule:

    <Files wp-login.php>
    order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    # whitelist tablet
    allow from 1.1.1.1
    # whitelist PC
    allow from 10.10.10.10
    </Files>
