Biggest opportunity: “activation”, “login flow” and “wp login” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 60 of 5.2K 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| activation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| login flow your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wp login your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wp login flow your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wp login.php your tag | Not checked yet | ||

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

This plugin is just a blessing. Thank you for this amazing job !!!

I don’t want users to set password from email when register which seems like it would be simple but was not! Other plugins and code snippets i tried only gave me problems, this plugin made it easy to register with password and I could add first and last name fields! thank you!

I tried quite a few other plugins to get the user to be redirected properly after logging in (I did not want admins to get redirected to their profile; I want them to get redirected to front page of site). All of the other plugins were broken with the latest WordPress version except for this one. Yay!

I was looking for a plugin to setup redirects for users when logging in and came across this plugin, which it works great for. I was surprised with all the other features and am very happy with how well it works! I do not like the wp-login.php links in emails and this helps to change those and I didn’t even expect to find this when I was looking. great job thank you!

I run a network install of wordpress. For whatever reason the “lost your password” link on all sites pointed to the default site’s pwd recovery form. This plugin fixed the problem. I just enabled the custom “forgotten password” link on all sites (other than the default site) and actually forced it to the default URL for that site (/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword). It works.

installed it. Logged out, now I get error when trying to login ERROR: Your account is still pending activation, please check your email, or you can request a password reset for a new activation code. Then try to do what it said by getting a new password.. ERROR! The e-mail could not be sent. Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function. ( my mail was working FINE before this plugin.) Locked me out of my own site!
