Biggest opportunity: Swap “2fa login”, “limit login attempts” and “login security” for “totp”, “sso” and “xmlrpc”. “2fa login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “totp” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “limit login attempts” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “sso” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “login security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “xmlrpc” sits at #10 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 →3.6%
of downloads still active
At least 7K of 196K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 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 5 releases 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “2fa login”, “limit login attempts” and “login security” for “totp”, “sso” and “xmlrpc”. “2fa login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “totp” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “limit login attempts” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “sso” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “login security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “xmlrpc” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “passwordless login”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

The Verify 2FA options and the SMS Auth have stopped working, that’s why I only give it two stars. I wait for a solution or if not I do not recommend anyone to install the plugin. This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by sergialarconrecio.

Passwordless login link option is simply amazing. Love this plugin.

This is a lightweight plugin that should be first on your list. One request tho: would be nice to see a distinction made between successful logins, and unsuccessful logins and blocked logins.

We’ve been having issues with the plugin causing an error which puts the site into maintenance mode on multiple WP deployments. The plugin developers haven’t responded to the support threads and there hasn’t been any plugin update in 5 months. Assuming it’s been abandoned.
