| Pros | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings | No captchas or moderation queues for visitors; Blocks IPs and countries from admin settings; Integrations for many form and commerce plugins |
| Cons | 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 | Quota-limited Zero Spam API; upgrade is needed for higher volumes; Some lookups need your own IP service API keys; Sharing spam data with the vendor is an opt-in setting |
