Super Easy to Use
Easy to use, and just works on activation. I can look at the list of site users, and click the "Disable" link to disable a user. In the user listing, there is a new column noting which users are disabled. Very handy!

Bon plugin
Il fait ce qu'il doit faire et fonctionne très bien. La seule chose que je rajouterais c'est un système pour trier les comptes par statut (activer-désactiver) dans la liste des comptes.
