Helpful Feature Request Response
I contacted the plugin author directly about a feature request. The author was prompt in getting back to me about it and agreed it was a good idea. It was then immediately pushed out. The author even provided the code snippet needed to work with the new feature. Very helpful!

Horrible
Imagine installing this plugin on a few dozen of your client websites. Then they update the plugin with a flaw that prevents you and any of your clients from logging into the dashboard of all those sites, So, as a web developer, I must go to the various hosting providers of all those client sites and deactivate the plugin. Then the developer sent an update to the plugin, I reactivated it, and sure enough, they reintroduced the same error into the update. Once again, I must go to all those different hosting companies and delete the plugin. Do you think I will trust the next update you send? Time wasted on my part? Hours. Not hour. HOURS plural. I think you guys need to find another profession.

Bug: latest update 1.3.4 locks out all users from logging into your own site
I can't believe you guys introduced the same bug again that you released when updating to 1.3.1. Updating to 1.3.1 added an severe bug which resulted in no access to login to your own website. At all!! We've had many clients that where not able to login because /wp-admin/ resulted in an error 403 forbidden or an notice 'You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.'. So that was fixed in update 1.3.2 and now again the same error is introduced in update 1.3.4. Such an severe bug that locks out all users (even admins) of their own website. How is it possible that you do not test this before releasing such an update? Come on this is not only careless but damages a lot of companies. Removed your plugin from 100+ websites. I would recommend everybody to not install this plugin if you would like to be able to login to your own website.
