Biggest opportunity: “access”, “admin” and “custom login” 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 200 of 5.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,194 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, well behind 7.1.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| loginstyle your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| access your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| admin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

The best of free ”Login/Register/Lostpassword Page Plugins” Thanks for the great work.

I couldn’t tell whether Ultimate Branding or Theme My Login had placeholders (which I prefer to labels), so gave Loginstyle a try. Loginstyle is really easy to use. I had installed Super Socializer first, and was concerned when the social login icons disappeared after I started styling with Loginstyle. But the social login icons came back with just resaving my Super Socializer settings. So now I can have my cake, and eat it too. The only glitch I found was that the checkbox to not show the label for “User name or email” seems to have no effect. However, it should be easy to hide that label using css. I did not try out any of the included templates to see whether they are fixed, or whether they can be used as a starting point and tweaked. Although at the time of this review the plugin has not been updated for over a year, it seems to work just fine with WordPress 4.8. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of customizations — background, form, even placeholder colors, and transparency settings for all the colors is included. There is a place on the last settings tab to include custom css, which is nice as I have to much css in my child theme’s style.css file as it is. This is going to be one of my “must have” plugins.

I spent more than a week trying all the different custom login plugins out there, but none of them did everything I needed. I started looking into teaching myself to build my login page from scratch (not my skill set, nor anything I had time for) when I finally stumbled over this plugin. This. Is. The. One. Loginstyle is everything I needed. So many options. The only way you’ll be able to tweak your login page more is to code it from the ground up. I’m so glad I found it. Thank you, Archtheme. I love this plugin. Great work.

Простой плагин для смены привычного дизайна страницы входа на свой. Тонкая настройка практически всех параметров страницы, включая возможность скрыть ссылки на восстановление страницы и на главную страницу сайта.

This plugins has got some pre-made templates that gets you set up quickly! Fast, easy and great looking. Lacks some features in the free version, but it’s enough for what I require. Nice~
