| Pros | Site-wide, per post type or per post rules; Bulk delete with a preview and export before deleting; Blocks REST API and XML-RPC comment endpoints | Authenticator app, email and backup code methods; Each user chooses and sets a primary method; WP-CLI commands for managing two-factor users |
| Cons | Deleting comments is permanent once confirmed; Optional usage tracking sends data to WPInsight once opted in | Each user must configure it individually; Dummy method is only for testing with WP_DEBUG; A site admin can hide some methods, so options vary |
