Biggest opportunity: Swap “login” for “sso”. “login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “sso” sits at #5 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 200 of 6.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,478 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.

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 have been trying to get my WordPress site linked to my NextCloud file server for well over a year. I needed to have a small main site (WordPress) while storing all of my 1000+ PDF document files on a large Cloud File Server (NextCloud). I also needed to maintain user access to our Cloud Server (for alternate access). I tried many plugins, Third Party solutions (KeyCloak, Auth0, MiniOrange, Okla, etc). I managed to get Auth0 running but it had a problem with authenticating with a commonly used version of a common web browser (not their fault – the browser had faulty code in their implementation of the handshaking procedure). Left it all alone for several month’s until our old web site died – which is why I was trying to get a new one working with our existing Cloud Server. Then this plugin showed up and it was so simple to setup and run. I had an issue with the default wp-login returning an error. So I setup fresh servers and still no joy. In desperation I contacted the Developer. He solved the problem within a day! Great service and I am very grateful to him for both publishing this great plugin and for the incredible response to my problems. Highly Recommended!

Finally a simple to install and use SSO plugin! Few options, but all the ones you might need. And Tim really cares about helping users, even those like me who use weird versions of NextCloud.

I have been trying to find a plugin to work with nextcloud for over a year and gave up, heard about this on the nextcloud forum and it just worked. Keep up the good work! You have saved me from copying account details over and over, again and again.
