 * Hello, This plugin sounds amazing. But, my fear of security plugins goes way 
   back.
 *  Since I was hacked recently, I would like to install thisunusual plugin
 * Do you know if it incompatible with any specific plugins, like wordfence or login
   security solutions?
 * Also, I am not FTP savy, is this a must to download and learn, before installation?
 * Thanks for any input! Mary

 * Hi,
 * I haven’t built this plugin for compatibility with other security plugins in-
   mind. This plugin hooks into native WordPress user login and comments flows and
   if you have other plugins doing the same, you may run into trouble. Best to deactivate
   other security plugins especially those that details with logins.
 * That said though, you can of course just turn on specific feature of this plugin
   as you need while retaining the other plugins.
 * If you do somehow get locked out, you can use your web hosting file manager just
   like FTP.
 * Hope that helps…
    Paul.
