Biggest opportunity: Swap “registration”, “custom login” and “login” for “login screen”, “theme” and “auto login”. “registration” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “login screen” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom login” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “theme” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “login” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “auto login” 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 →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 50K of 4.5M 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 6 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “registration”, “custom login” and “login” for “login screen”, “theme” and “auto login”. “registration” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “login screen” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom login” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “theme” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “login” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “auto login” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “login”. Down 8 places since 2026-09-18, now #14. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “custom login”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “login page”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I like this plugin, it’s simple to start with and well documented if you need to dive deeper into modifications.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ SJW2.5y ago
Perfect – I just wanted a simple plugin that formatted the registration and login pages. I would like the existing WP login and register pages to redirect to these but not a big deal – and I don’t know what the repercussions of this might be anyway.

Magnificent plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ jastrzab3.1y ago
I really appreciate that this plugin exists. However, I can’t believe you must pay for such basic thing as requiring strong password! It does not work well with Elementor (if you specify your own pages/slugs).
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ napes73.1y ago
Useless. It was nearly flawless years ago when it was free. Now that they are selling it, they let it go. It has conflicts with most other plugins ans support on their page is rubbish. I will remember the 2 unanswered tickets when they ask for my renewal fee. This topic was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by napes7.

Look-&-Feel works nice, but kills other 2FA plugins, so: dropped.
