Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Email OTP Login with default login form version 1.0.3 as active, updated 1y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.8.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin enhances the default WordPress login security by adding a One-Time Password (OTP) verification step via email:
Users log in with their regular email/username and password.
If credentials are valid, an OTP is generated and emailed to the user.
A popup is shown on the same login page ( wp-login.php ) to enter the OTP.
Once the correct OTP is entered, the user is logged in.
To help you get started, there’s a comprehensive video tutorial available that guides you through the process of setting.
Features
Secure login via OTP sent to user’s email.
Role-based OTP enforcement.
Uses native wp-login.php form — no custom forms required.
Session-based OTP handling for security.
Expiring OTP (default: 40 seconds).
No third-party dependencies.
