Duo Universal

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

Directory rank vs rivals

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 · 97% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

The one review here is happy with it, calling out the login prompts and the free tier for up to 10 users.

   I use Wordfence on my websites for essential security protection. Sure, the 2FA method is available for free, and is plenty good for most.However, I have been fascinated with log-in prompts recently, and it saves so much time with the websites that support it. So, I thought, why not add it to my WordPress site? And, in my journey to explore, I found Duo Universal. It’s entirely free for up to 10 users – meaning, 10 WordPress applications, (don’t get confused when it asks to create a “Trial account”). Unfortunately, the passkeys functionality is only applicable to the devices you created it in during the trial period. While you can use existing passkeys on the OS you created it in, you cannot create new ones after the trial period ends.Wish the pricing plan was geared towards individuals, but the premium edition needs you to purchase a subscription for 10 users at once, at the very least :/Moreover, you get to customize your branded logo + background for free. I have tested the plugin on two of my websites (WordPress 6.5.2) with different combination of plugins that include: Wordfence, SEOPress, RankMath, Really Simple SSL, Akismet, Malcare, Updraft Backups, and LightSpeed Cachep.s: I hope more people rate it, and the information for the plugin is updated to “Tested with latest WordPress version” This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by ankushdas.
