Broken wizard, poor documentation, and poor support
The title says it all. I spent the better part of 3 days trying to get this to work with no luck. I even paid for a plan to get support. They were little to no help. I use miniorange for my SSO needs. It works decently and has good support.
Fails at times for no apparent reason
Multiple users are not allowed to login getting the error : “This site requires a verified email”, even though this is not enabled in the settings. I’ve tried reporting this, getting absolutely zero response after 6 months…
Doesn’t work, abandoned
Unfortunately, plugin doesn’t work and abandoned. On official Github repository you can find this text: v4 of the plugin is no longer supported as of June 2023. We are no longer providing new features or bugfixes for that release. Please upgrade to v5 as soon as possible. OAuth0 Github But irony that v5 doesn’t work as well, so both versions of plugin are just a waste of time
Avoid “Login by Auth0” – A Broken, Abandoned Mess! 🚨
If you’re considering using the “Login by Auth0” plugin for WordPress authentication, DON’T. This plugin is an outdated, poorly maintained disaster that can break your site entirely. ❌ Fatal Errors & Crashes Installing and activating this plugin caused a fatal error on my WordPress site, making the entire login process unusable. It hasn’t been properly tested with the latest WordPress versions, and there’s no sign of maintenance or bug fixes. ❌ No Support, No Updates The plugin is practically abandoned – the last update was ages ago, and support requests are ignored or unanswered. If you run into issues, you’re on your own. For a security-focused plugin, this is completely unacceptable. ❌ Security Risks An authentication plugin that isn’t actively maintained is a massive security liability. If a vulnerability is found (which is likely, given the outdated codebase), you won’t get a fix anytime soon. ❌ Terrible User Experience Even if the plugin doesn’t crash your site (which it likely will), the configuration is a nightmare. The setup process is clunky, error-prone, and riddled with outdated documentation. Expect a frustrating experience from start to finish. 💀 Final Verdict: DO NOT USE. Auth0 is a great identity provider, but this WordPress plugin is a complete embarrassment. If you value site stability, security, and actual support, avoid this plugin at all costs. 🔹 Uninstall immediately.🔹 Look for a better alternative.🔹 Hope Auth0 either fixes or completely deprecates this mess. 🚨 DO NOT TRUST YOUR SITE’S LOGIN SECURITY TO THIS BROKEN PLUGIN. 🚨

Excellent Plugin Made by Excellent People
I have some questions about signing JWT’s, but other than that, the documentation is exhaustive, which is one of the reasons why I chose it. You can tell when a project is put together well.
Great Plugin. Best for SSO between sites.
I use multiple WordPress sites and other member platform. When I set every site login via Auth0, it creates seamless experience for users. I decide to user only Passwordless email. This will help people secure their accounts (because of no password to remember and no easy password remains.)
