AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Secure XML-RPC is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Secure XML-RPC works
Rather than sending usernames and passwords in plain text with every request, we’re going to use a set of public/secret keys to hash data and authenticate instead.
On your WordPress profile, you will see a new “Remote Publishing Permissions” section listing out the applications that have permission to publish, along with their public and secret keys.
New applications can be added whenever you want. You can also change the names of applications, or revoke publishing permission by deleting them.
