Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

As long as you only need to see their MD5 password, which is just a bunch of gibberish. But to see user passwords, not a chance. It does not work as the plugin name suggests.

It just displays a bunch of useless encrypted strings, but they don’t give you access to the user profile. Just a waste of time.

If you want to keep an eye on MD5 password of your users this is your plugin. So in case you delete the user or change his password you can always set it again without knowing it using the database access.
