It helped me a lot to get rid of the extra stuff in the regular login page.

 [Naomi Blindeman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/naomiblindeman/) ޖޫން 13, 2020

I cannot believe that this plugin does not allow people to set their own passwords.
It sends an email with the new password and the new password is only 7 characters
long, much too short to be save. I’ve blocked subscribers from the admin area so
they will then never be able to set a better one. What a weird thing to do. I can’t
use this.

 [houseofstrauss](https://profiles.wordpress.org/houseofstrauss/) ޖޫން 18, 2019

CAPTCHA fails every time. In fact if you add the captcha to admin it will prevent
you logging into the site admin. The letters numbers were perfectly clear and we
asked 3 people to confirm. IN addition the code does not refresh, so you have no
chance of entering a new one. Gotta fix this!!

 [ncstatedad](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ncstatedad/) މާރޗް 25, 2019

Simple and easy to use. Works as expected. With latest update, developers were up
front that it was a major rewrite and users may need to reset some settings. Once
this was done, everything works fine.

 [jhebbel](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jhebbel/) މާރޗް 15, 2019

Be prepared to modify the php and css to get this to look more pleasing, because
the bare bones plugin takes zero effort to make the login form look even slightly
decent. Also, uses a easily defeatable capthica that has been known to be worthless
instead of just implementing the Google Capthica.
