| Editions | Two Factor | WPS Hide Login |
| Pros | Authenticator app, email and backup code methods; Each user chooses and sets a primary method; WP-CLI commands for managing two-factor users | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | 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 | 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 |
