Biggest opportunity: Swap “security” for “place”. “security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “place” sits at #24 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 →1.4%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 709.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Security plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,059 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Security 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 4 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.

Super Simple setup, Meets the Need!

I was searching for a plugin that does this. I found a couple, but they had very limited functionality Inactive Logout Pro is extraordinary. It has some very unique features that I could not find in any other plugin Browser Close Logout: Nobody remembers to actively log out before closing the browser. Hence, browser close log out is one of the most impressive features in the plugin. There is no other plugin that provides this Maximum number of logins per user: Number of users that can access the same user at the same time. This is awesome if you sell subscriptions with varied plans like Netflix Redirect Logged out users using AJAX: If you are selling courses, just logging the user out in the backend is not useful at all, because the user can just keep watching a course video despite being logged out. This is where AJAX requests come in. The user is actively redirected to another page (even when the user has not refreshed the page) In a nutshell, the best concurrent user security plugin out there. Go for the paid version, you won’t regret it

it works very well. However, if I watch a youtube video (with or without full screen) my session expires. Is it possible to ensure that the session doesn’t expire when I’m playing an audio or video stream?
