Avoid “Login by Auth0” β A Broken, Abandoned Mess! π¨
-
If you’re considering using the “Login by Auth0” plugin for WordPress authentication, DON’T. This plugin is an outdated, poorly maintained disaster that can break your site entirely.
β Fatal Errors & Crashes
Installing and activating this plugin caused a fatal error on my WordPress site, making the entire login process unusable. It hasn’t been properly tested with the latest WordPress versions, and there’s no sign of maintenance or bug fixes.
β No Support, No Updates
The plugin is practically abandoned β the last update was ages ago, and support requests are ignored or unanswered. If you run into issues, you’re on your own. For a security-focused plugin, this is completely unacceptable.
β Security Risks
An authentication plugin that isnβt actively maintained is a massive security liability. If a vulnerability is found (which is likely, given the outdated codebase), you wonβt get a fix anytime soon.
β Terrible User Experience
Even if the plugin doesn’t crash your site (which it likely will), the configuration is a nightmare. The setup process is clunky, error-prone, and riddled with outdated documentation. Expect a frustrating experience from start to finish.
π Final Verdict: DO NOT USE.
Auth0 is a great identity provider, but this WordPress plugin is a complete embarrassment. If you value site stability, security, and actual support, avoid this plugin at all costs.
πΉ Uninstall immediately.
πΉ Look for a better alternative.
πΉ Hope Auth0 either fixes or completely deprecates this mess.π¨ DO NOT TRUST YOUR SITEβS LOGIN SECURITY TO THIS BROKEN PLUGIN. π¨
