| Pros | Two-factor login through Rublon cloud methods; Protection levels set by user role; Confirmation prompts for sensitive admin actions | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Needs the Rublon cloud service and a registered application; Free use covers one protected WordPress account; XML-RPC protection is shown as a locked paid option | 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 |
