Biggest opportunity: Swap “passwordless login” for “phone”. “passwordless login” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “phone” sits at #5 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 →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 144.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 19 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “passwordless login” for “phone”. “passwordless login” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “phone” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “passwordless login”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles16 of the last 27 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 7 of those landed between 2023-08-23 and 2023-09-06.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

Big mistake buying this plugin. Paid for pro, support went silent. It’s full of bugs and completely unusable. No response from anyone. Total scam. do not pay for pro version guys This topic was modified 2 weeks, 2 days ago by v1988. Reason: total scam

Awesome plugin. I was able to set it up in a few minutes. If you face any issues, you can chat with author from the plugin setting page of your website itself. With Firebase, I got a free limit of 1000 sms per day. So it’s working great for my website now. Looking forward to buy the paid version in future, jsut to support the author.

1. Shows ads. 2. Shows developers real face in my admin dashboard 😐 3. The core basic functionality (connection to KaveNegar SMS service provider) is locked behind Pro version. Almost all SMS gateways are locked behind a paywall. 4. “Enable usage tracking” option checked by default (without users knowladge). This topic was modified 9 months ago by pixer.

The plugin is great, but there are some compatibility issues with the WoodMart theme.Also, when the “Abandoned Cart” feature is enabled, it causes problems. I hope these issues will be fixed in future updates. Additionally, I suggest adding more login form templates instead of relying on just one.

Thanks a lot, your plugin saved me so much time for development!One small bug: the shortcode renders 5 forms, and all of them have a field with the same id. So, I have a warning in console: Found 5 elements with non-unique id #security.

So I recently migrated one of my clients website from Shopify to Woo and they needed a otp based login. All other options seemed a little too much and I wanted something very straightforward. Add the phone number, get an otp and login. These guys do just that. No fuss! And the best part is, the customer support was spot on. I had trouble syncing the old Shopify customers with this app but the support team guided me very efficiently and got the issue resolved in no time. I highly recommend this plugin and I’m soon going to opt for the paid version.
