| Pros | Free shortcode for a login form anywhere on the front end; Optional redirect after login set per shortcode; Google reCAPTCHA v3 option for the login form; Settings page covers the form options 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 | Form only, with no registration or password reset pages; reCAPTCHA v3 loads Google's script on pages with the form; Extra behaviour such as forced redirects needs the separate add-ons | 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 |
