Biggest opportunity: Swap “login security” and “two factor authentication” for “blocker” and “country blocking”. “login security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “blocker” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “two factor authentication” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “country blocking” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 3.2K 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.
