Biggest opportunity: Swap “passwords” and “security” for “length” and “enforce”. “passwords” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “length” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “enforce” sits at #11 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 →4.4%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 9.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Security plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,059 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Security 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 13 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 “passwords” and “security” for “length” and “enforce”. “passwords” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “length” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “enforce” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

This plugin lets me implement an appropriate level of security on my site to protect users’ privacy and potential financial data by ensuring all users have a strong password in place. There are many easy-to-use options to vary the strength requirements, and the messages to the user spell out the requirements in a simple-to-understand sentence. Support for this plugin is AWESOME, they respond quickly and thoroughly, and are keen to make sure the plugin handles any odd scenario you come across. I highly recommend this plugin to anyone who needs to ensure a level of password strength on their wordpress site.
