Great plugin, great support.
This is a great plugin. Even better has been the support I have received from the team.

A half-baked system
There is no way to customize the login and registration fields. Even when using the provided shortcuts, these pages still cannot be customized as needed. The documentation is so brief that it is difficult to find any truly useful information. After integrating Google Sign-In and Google Registration, users who register with a Google account get stuck on the login page and are never redirected, making the registration process unusable. FluentAuth customer service team didn't solve my problem at all. They spent two whole weeks repeatedly telling me that I was just stuck on the login issue, which was a complete waste of my time. In the end, I had to fix it myself. The actual issue was that after completing the registration, the page cache got completely stuck and failed to pass the data to the account login. This caused an infinite loop on the login page, making it absolutely impossible to log in. This is clearly a flaw in your system's design and has absolutely nothing to do with any third-party plugins.

Fluent Auth / Fluent Security is a nice security plugin with all the most important security features, but without the unecessary and the bloat

Superb for my use case
I wanted to implement a login system with the requirement for users to enter an email code on login. This mitigates login sharing among users. Very effective, did the job perfectly. Raised one support ticket query which was responded to with a "right first time" solution within 24 hours. Very happy.
