You can choose not to use it at all and just use ProfileGrid’s core registration forms instead. * ProfileGrid is currently only compatible with RegistrationMagic for advanced registration form customization. RegistrationMagic is one of the many plugins made by our team, just like ProfileGrid. It is completely secure and performance efficient. So rest assured you will not have any such issues using RegistrationMagic as our team keeps it updated to follow the latest security standards. * Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. * Thread Starter [karlmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karlmann/) * (@karlmann) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/registrationmagic-alternative/#post-11405241) * [@profilegrid0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/profilegrid0/) * thanks for your reply. thing is I really like profilegrid but I need to customize the registration form but like mentioned I have some worries reading unanswered reviews where people stated some disadvantages regarding RegistrationMagic… * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/totally-not-safe-and-really-bad-optimization/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/totally-not-safe-and-really-bad-optimization/) * quote: * “The passwords saved on the database are not encryped, they’re just stored in a plain text format, like “pass123”. Which can lead to serious trouble if someone steals your database information. * If you use this for user registrations, for each custom field that you are using on your form, you’ll get one extra entry on the database (“crf_submissions” table to be more precise), this means that if you’re using 9 custom profile fields on a form, you’re getting a total of 20 rows for each user registered ( 9 custom and 11 which come default ), if you have a lot of users registrations daily, this may lead to some serious space eater on your database, which I think that it could have been avoided.” * I dont know if updates have been made since. the support didnt reply. but to me that doesnt sound so well… you saying its completely secure and performance efficient. can you please just tell me something regarding those topics? * like I said I would really like to customize my forms but also want to avoid insecurity and plugins causing massive space. * [RegistrationMagic Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/registrationmagicsupport/) * (@registrationmagicsupport) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/registrationmagic-alternative/#post-11412097) * Hi Karlmann, * This review is of an outdated version of RegistrationMagic, more than 3 years old.
