Biggest opportunity: Swap “oauth” for “azure”. “oauth” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “azure” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 15.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 2 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.

The other SSO plugins seemed too complicated and their feature set didn’t match with my needs. This plugin simply matches the WordPress user’s email address with the Microsoft Entra ID user’s email address. For us, that was the perfect solution. Thank you!!!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Alexander Walther1.0y ago
After testing 5 different plugins and finding out, that these are not FREE of charge if you want to use them, this was the only plugin tested that keeps it’s promise: You want Azure Entra ID SSO? You get Azure Entra ID SSO. Period. There are some UX potentials to make this plugin even better (hiding the regular form at all or put the login button below the form, not between input fields and submit button) but I really appreciate having this basic feature working for free, not for 199$/year. I’d like to sponsor this developer for keeping this a working plugin.

This just works. I just contacted my Microsoft-admin at the office. He delivered some generated client/directory/… keys, I filled them out and done! All users that were already active on the site (and used their correct corporate email address) could instantly sign-in with their Microsoft SSO. Also a nice touch that you can just hide the old login, to avoid confusion and defer hackers even more. Great job @qlcvea / Marco and thank you!
