Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce – OTP Verification, Block Fake Signups

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

222 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 184 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 40% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2.7 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 80% of the way through.

   The plugin does not support social register/login. Only pro version has the support for only 2 social login plugins which are not free. So you have to pay for 2 different plugins. Does not support custom HTML email templates in free or pro version. The inbuilt email template looks very basic and not good, the template builder has very limited customization. If you are looking for OTP based login and registration, check out Digits in codecanyon. It will save you a ton of money and has lot more feature.

   At first I was a bit reluctant to use this plugin since it has not been updated for a few months and there were 1 or 2 negative reviews, but after trying a few others and having little success, I decided to try it. The plugin worked perfectly and the popup is a really nice touch. Importantly, I like that you can customise the verification email, something other free plugins do not allow. The email is sent via Woocommerce, so it has the coloured bar at the top and the shop logo. Some of the other plugins I tried, sent an email containing a single line of text which got instantly junked! This plugin is simple, elegant and gets the job done. I would recommend it for small e-commerce stores that are on a tight budget.

   A fantastic plugin that does everything you need it to for customer verification, even allowing users to login the first time without verification, but giving them a very nicely designed verification popup upon their second login. 5/5

   This plugin is not working. I tried my best to contact the developer and help them to troubleshoot the issue but they were not able to solve it. The email with the code never arrives for newly registered users.I did what they asked but it did not help.Installed it on two fresh servers, one local and one hosted, with no other plugin installed, it still doesn’t work. The support reply was “We are not supposed to provide answers for a free plugin”. How are they going to sell the product then?

   The plugin works flawlessly and has very simple and easy settings. The customer support team was also very quick in resolving a bug I reported. Overall, I’m very happy that after trying out other similar plugins, I found one that actually WORKS for my current setup. It’s definitely worth the money.

   some main functions are missing and when I start a thread, they didn’t reply to me for the last 10 days. A very poor and lazy support team.
