AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Persistent Login is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Sessions category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 25 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 Persistent Login works
Show full descriptionShow less
Persistent Login keeps users logged into your website, limits the number of active logins allowed at one time and alerts users of new devices logging into their account.
Persistent Login: Keep wordpress users logged in forever Persistent Login keeps users logged into your website unless they explicitly choose to log-out. It allows you to limit the number of active logins each user can have, and it alerts users of logins from new devices.
Persistent Login requires little set-up, just install and save your users time by keeping them logged into your website securely, avoiding the annoyance of forgetting usernames & passwords.
For added security, users can visit their Profile page in the WP Admin area to see how many sessions they have, what device was used and when they were last active. The user can choose to end any session with the click of a button.
