Secure Passkeys

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 54% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I tested a few. The next best contender needs a PHP module that’s not available everywhere, and it stopped working when I upgraded the PHP version to 8.4.THIS plugin just works like a charm in any shared environment. Works also in combination with the Automattic Two-Factor plugin. So you get the best of both worlds. The developer is very responsive and helpful. All open source, hosted on GitHub. This plugin is now on all my websites.Keep up the good work Mohamed.

   Just what I needed when I wanted to create my own plugin. However, it has a few bugs and minor good-to-haves: If I only activate it on one of the sites in a MultiSite, it does not work because it relies on the base prefix to be accessed. If I activate notifications for users, it does not notify on each subdomain in a MultiSite. Since passkeys are unique for each domain/subdomain this should be fixed. The error, notice and button in the login form should be formated as native WP tags. I would have prefered to hide the settings under Settings in the menu. That is where it belongs. Still, I will have this as one of the few default external plugins to use for now.

   This plugin is amazing and I have nothing but thanks for you! My only concern is if i install and use this long term, how long do you plan on supporting this plugin? This plugin is amazing I’m just scared that if I install it and a year down the road you decide to drop it, i have to remove the feature from the site and users that will by then use it.
