Biggest opportunity: Swap “login” for “move”. “login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “move” 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 →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 150.6K 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 1 release 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| move login your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| move | #6 | #10 | down 1 |

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Simple and effective. It moves my login page to a custom address. Only issue I’ve noticed in wp 5.3 is that I get asked to verify my email when logging in. Trying to do so results in a failed login. Maybe due to this plugin? This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by shawn caza.

Doesn’t work. Website still loads login page at wp-admin so this plugin is entirely worthless.

Malheureusement, Move Login n’est pas encore compatible avec WordPress 4.9+

My site was under brute-force attack. I changed my login page with this plugin, and hackers no longer have access. Of course, you have to take some extra precautions for security, but this plugin protects the login page in a simple and efficient way. Thanks for this plugin!

It seems to be partially working. I suspect WP broke something.

Don’t know why I didn’t find “Move Login” first. I already tested 2 alternative free plugins and it was deficient in different ways. “Move Login” is powerful, light and easy to set up. Very nice find. Thanks.
