WP Login Security 2

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 · 100% 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 plugin seemed simple and great to add that little extra security buffer to my site up until it mysteriously didn’t recognize my IP address today. I went to login to my WordPress site and it suddenly got stuck in a login loop without telling me the problem. When I discovered and accessed the email link to allow recognition of my IP address, it went to the site login again and got stuck in the same loop. I am so thankful for Bluehost support because if it weren’t for their help this could have been a lockout that would have taken many hours or even days to figure out. Also, when going to uninstall the plugin after deactivating it, there did not seem to be any option to change back the login web address and it is now stuck at the previously designated address. I gave it two stars because it did work for about 2 months.
