Biggest opportunity: “log”, “login” and “multisite” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 4.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

I network activated it — and it seems to work. But even though I had thousands of records, only the first page of them displays — no matter what page I go to. Makes me sad.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Seth Battis11.0y ago
I set this up in conjunction with WordFence to a) be able to see if anyone had logged in recently (in case I needed to bounce the Apache server) and b) track failed login attempts for fictitious users. It logs just fine — and is doing a great job of capturing even failed login attempts (much to the benefit of my WordFence filtering), but… the view as a Network Admin does not actually scroll through different logins — it looks like it should (it even tells me it’s on a new page), but the actual login list is not refreshed. But the data’s all there in the wp_simple_network_login_log table, so I’m just fine.
