This plugin caused me lot of trouble. It provably deleted all my customer accounts! Twice! I had to restore db backup twice and it cost lot of trouble to me and also my customers.
I definitely DO NOT recommend this plugin.

We had a bit of trouble customizing at the start, I'm not sure but documentation needs to be a bit more extensive. But overall a very useful plugin. 🙂

Works better than other similar plugins with my configuration.
But I'd like to approve after user's profile (names, etc.) have been set.
