Biggest opportunity: Swap “authentication” for “whmcs”. “authentication” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “whmcs” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

At least 200 of 18K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

    It does the basic job it does, however, I am completely unable to deactivate or remove this plugin as it throws an error each time. I’ve contacted the creator several times and received no reply.Edit: Do not use this plugin ever. Creator is MIA, non-responsive and the plugin is broken on multiple levels. Not only did it refuse to delete, it was blocking the ability to use google api to connect for sending e-mail. When it was removed the google connection process completed immediately (had to go into the files to delete this). After that I tried to put it back because we were using it, and it refused to install. Whatever is wrong with it makes it completely incompatible with using the Google authentication. 1 star isn’t low enough. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by crossmr.

    To clarify this at the beginning: I’m absolutely not against paid features. The problem here is, that there is nothing mentioned that some of the features, which are part of the readme and thus made me want to use this plugin, are behind a paywall. Besides that, support doesn’t seem to be a priority. I asked for how to access these features since I first didn’t see the tab with the plans, but even after that there was no answer from the support whatsoever. Additionally, to me it looks more like a clone of OAuth Single Sign On – SSO (OAuth Client) by miniOrange, which I don’t think is the best idea since the user experience can be improved dramatically. The features that work without payment seem to work fine, though. This topic was modified 3 years ago by Matthias Kittsteiner. This topic was modified 2 years, 12 months ago by Matthias Kittsteiner.

    This plugin was a lifesaver, the other options either didn’t work for my organization or were too spammy and obnoxious. This plugin just does what it says and does it well. A lot of features are yet to be implemented but that only means it will keep getting better as it already serves its purpose. Only a minor nitpick: It would be better if the plugin put its config menu in the foldable tools menu, instead of adding it’s own menu to the admin drawer. That UI gets crowded fast.
