Biggest opportunity: Swap “activity log”, “brute force” and “login security” for “discord login”, “concurrent login” and “login background”. “activity log” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “discord login” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “brute force” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “concurrent login” 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. “login background” sits at #12 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 →5.3%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 9.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,477 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 60 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.

Très bien et complet. Je ne suis qu’un simple blogueur mais c’est l’outil indispensable pour sécuriser un site.

J’utilise pour certain de mes clients d’autres solutions premium, mais quid des petits qui ne veulent pas inverstir dans une licence… Et bien Login Armor fait parfaitement le job !
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Rid Nam5mo ago
J’ai testé pas mal de solutions pour sécuriser mes sites WordPress, et Login Armor est devenu mon incontournable. Ce que j’apprécie par-dessus tout, c’est qu’il fait exactement ce qu’on attend de lui sans alourdir le site ou complexifier la configuration. L’installation est rapide, l’interface est claire, et il m’a permis d’arrêter immédiatement les tentatives de connexion abusives sur mes différents sites. C’est le genre de plugin qu’on installe une fois, on règle ses préférences, et on peut dormir sur ses deux oreilles. Depuis que je l’utilise, je l’intègre systématiquement sur chaque nouveau projet que je lance. Un grand merci aux développeurs pour cet outil fiable et bien pensé. Je recommande à 100 % !
