| Pros | Login, registration and reset forms without page reloads; Passkeys and two-factor login included in the free version; Placement as widget, block, shortcode or pop-up; Compatibility code for WooCommerce, BuddyPress and WPML | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | SMS and WhatsApp two-factor login need the paid Pro add-on; reCAPTCHA is advertised as Pro and is not in the free code; Admin screens show Pro upsell panels | Hiding the URL is not a substitute for login rate limiting; Forgotten login URLs lock editors out until the plugin is disabled; Maintained without guaranteed free support |
