WebAuthn Provider for Two Factor

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 87% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   This is great. You can literally log into WordPress with 2FA using one touch (password manager with auto-login combined with this for 2FA). Beats using an authenticator app any day.

   This is helpful for evaluating purposes of the code. As this plugin is part of a security level all the code should be readable easily for auditors. Besides that, well done.Thank you. This topic was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by Rene Hermenau.

   Thank you for bridging the gap while we wait for the PR. This is what Open Source is all about.

   WebAuthn could be included in Two Factor, there’s a PR since Nov 22. Thanks for stepping in and even ENHANCING it. Very comprehensive!

   Looks like a solid solution, but there is zero documentation. After adding my yubi-key it’s not appearing in the list. So I cannot remove it or change it.
