| Pros | Real-time backup and malware scanning through the VaultPress service; Admin page and Jetpack menu integration; Login lockdown and firewall toggles in one place | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Requires a paid VaultPress subscription; Readme says it is no longer supported for new customers; Replacement recommended by the readme is Jetpack Security | 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 |
