Biggest opportunity: “login”, “logout” and “meta” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 167.1K 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.
Removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| login your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| logout your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| meta your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| sidebar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

I was having issues with the very annoying logout confirmation but with this plugin is finally gone.

I think it deserves five stars when the instructions tell you what you can do to NOT use it and still get what you want. Can’t ask better than that!

It simply does what it’s supposed to do and does it well. In 2 years, it has never faltered.

Благодарю! Именно то, что искал. Лаконичен и хорошо смотрится в шапке сайте. В противовес стандартному виджету “мета” не ненужных RSS ссылок.
