Stopped working on new WordPress version

Excellent plugin.
Unfortunately, after the new WordPress update, it blocks managed users from logging in.

Everything's good, need just an update

Does what it says :)

Must have plug-in

By marco1958 on March 12, 2020

Using it on 15 WP 5.3.2 sites at the moment. It's a must have these days. Using the same password too long will lead to leaks at some time. Would like to have an export/import option to easily share settings. Also a way to configure via the wp cli would be nice.
