Biggest opportunity: “admin”, “automatic” and “cookie” 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.

How it's measured →3.6%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 16.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| admin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| automatic your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cookie your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| core your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| timeout your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

It seems unhappy with my site since I removed SSL/https. Maybe an uninstall / reinstall will work. Meanwhile, I was only able to log in anymore by setting the plugin folder permission to 000.

I had same problem as @micha79 – had to gain SSH access to server and remove entire plugin manually. Do not install on your production server if you do not have FTP or SSH access!

Excellent, Works Perfect on my Site

Causes a “503 temporarily not available” error when trying to log in with user name and password. Or simply redirected to the start page without login. This plugin was installed last and had to be manually removed via FTP access from the plugin folder of the WordPress installation, then the login worked again as before.

We have a lot of techno phobic users who can never remember their usernames or passwords. This plugin is a lifesaver if I can prolong their sessions so that they almost never need to log in. Thanks!

I installed about 6 days ago and it works perfectly. UPDATE… It went off after 6 days, I had it set to 60 days.

Just installed this plugin and so far it’s working well, have to wait awhile to fully test the time settings, I’ve set the login time to 10 days 🙂 Great to have the different logout time for user role.
