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.

    So tired of all those dweebs in their mammy’s basements trying to access wp-login om my websites. thanks to this plugin they can plug away all they want and I don’t have to add them to my banned list. This plugin saves me a lot of time and effort, thanks dev, great plugin.

    This plugin worked without any issues. Would be nice though if the full path and key words did not appear in browser address bar

    I rarely leave reviews, and I think this might actually be the first time I’ve left a review for a Plugin, but this one is worth the time and effort it took me to reset my password. Works as advertised, perfectly.

    Very easy to use and works well. Does the job to hide the login door very well. Recommended!

    This plugin has been a savior. I went from 500 login attempts per day on one of my website to zero!
