Biggest opportunity: Swap “redirect” and “buddypress” for “login redirect” and “profile”. “redirect” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “login redirect” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “buddypress” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “profile” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.2%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 52K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,477 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

This is an awesome plugin! You install it and it just works. I want my users to be redirected to the main profile page after logging in and this plugin did exactly that.
