Stop Spam Registrations in WordPress
Allowing users to register on your WordPress site can open the door to spam user registrations. While you can fight spam user registrations, wouldn’t it be better to moderate users in WordPress so you can approve only the ones you want on your website?
Login Security
When a user who is blocked or yet to be approved tries to log in, they are locked out of your WordPress website.
As an admin, you can approve pending users and block or unblock user accounts in WordPress.
Customizable Triggered Notifications
You can customize the content of the WordPress email sent when a user is approved, rejected, blocked, or unblocked, as well as the admin notification when a user is pending approval.
