WP 2-step verification

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 · 89% 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.

   I had to get siteground technical support to delete the plugin and then I was able to log back in. I am using with woocommerce and WCFM so be careful.

   Very nice looking plugin. Easy to set up and configure, however, have 2 major issues. First is that haven’t been updated for some time (10 months) and due to that some compatibility with the latest version of WordPress causing big issues. For my blog, where using Gutenberg editor ( Classic one) there is no possibility to update post/page (unable to save!) when the plugin is enabled. When is off, issue not exist.
