    This plugin compromise the security of the login and create double logins. Do not use this and stay away. My site got hacked after installing this plugin.

    – The plugin did not have anything to do with the hacks directly. But I learned that (addressed on a different post) it did have a problem with how the password was printed which could well be the reason. The plugin developer promptly (and kindly) fixed the password issue. I will update my review once I test it again.

    I downloaded the new sidebar login (2.5) and has been using it since yesterday. No problems so far. No double logins, no sudden log-offs etc. But I did not log in to the site admin through that. I think it’s an excellent plugin and will update my review in couple of weeks.

    Thank you! I will forward this and get everything checked. (I’m a UI designer). I assume most of these has been done since we monitor the servers often.
