Great Plugin

Everything is fine, just the first login was in loop because the system send a key as password which can find on url that receive to change the password!! Strange! If you try to enter your password, then you will be in a constant loop that the login is invalid!
Nice to have in the future: the option to add a signature or extra details in the footer of the login page.

Wouldn't work

The plugin won't verify my Captcha keys.

Error: An undocumented error has occurred. Please refresh the page and try again.

Didn't work

reCAPTCHA shown but even the checkbox is not ticked it allows user to login anyway. The reCAPTCHA seems to appear only for decoration but not linked to the login checking.

Didn't work

By madukdiver on July 4, 2025

Easy to install the plugin. Looks very good but.... I set up Google reCAPTCHA v2, confirmed the keys were working ok. But no "I'm not a robot" CAPTCHA appeared on any of the pages where it should have. Couldn't get it to do anything useful at all. Mine's a very standard WordPress site so nothing special, very disappointed by this utter waste of time. Good luck if it works for you but pointless in my case

Absolute garbage - nothing works

By jessebrightman on May 1, 2025

Absolute garbage spam upsell junk plugin. Older versions were great but now it's just bloatware and plain doesn't work and forces you into paid junk.

Always problems

By masterita on February 27, 2025

The basic functions of this plugin do not work, so I don't trust paying for the pro-plan will be worth it. So many users complain about not being able to log in daily. Even when I try to set the very basic "I AM NOT A ROBOT" button, it always asks the math question, which apparently thinks math is racist because 2+2 does not equal 4 with this plugin.
