Very Well Made

By Philip Sola (philsola) on April 30, 2024

This plugin, is extremely well thought through and very well made. Plenty of filters for developers to hook into and adjust to their liking.

I've managed to filter the email body, the characters used for the code, the REST API namespace, the code length and loads more, with total ease.

Great plugin - thank you!

Excellent plugin

You've helped me more than you know. Is it possible to use it with a user who is an administrator?

Works perfectly!

The plugin does exactly what it is supposed to do. The filters allow extensive customization.

Many thanks to the developers!
