 * I created a custom WordPress plugin on activating it an admin will enter the 
   secret key if key validates successfully in front-end user can see the plugin
   related data/pages etc. My question is what will be better way to create plugin
   pages? If on plugin activation create a post having type ‘page’ or create pages
   in plugin folder only and access them directly in the browser using URL rewrite?

 * It’s impractical to request plugin files directly, even through rewrites, if 
   your file utilizes WP resources. Such an approach will not be 100% portable to
   other installations. It’s grounds for rejection if you submit your plugin for
   the WP repository. Invoke your code through a page template, admin-ajax.php, 
   or admin-post.php. There really aren’t any other good options.
