Expire User Passwords

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

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 · 14% 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.

   Excellent plugin. Unfortunately, after the new WordPress update, it blocks managed users from logging in.

   Using it on 15 WP 5.3.2 sites at the moment. It’s a must have these days. Using the same password too long will lead to leaks at some time. Would like to have an export/import option to easily share settings. Also a way to configure via the wp cli would be nice.
