Biggest opportunity: Swap “secure login” and “wordpress security” for “password reset” and “expiration”. “secure login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “password reset” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wordpress security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “expiration” sits at #6 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 →7.3%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 6.9K 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.
This plugin shipped 5 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.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “500+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 18 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 500.
At the current install trend, crossing 600+ in roughly 42 days.

It would be great if the confirmation was clearer and said ’10 Passwords have been reset’.

After suspecting a malicious attempt on my website, I needed to force several administrators to reset their passwords. This plugin made my job much easier.

Would like that the user list auto-completes or searches the users. Pressing enter on the settings page turned to page gray without any indication what may have happened. Allow a save button to save settings before executing action.
