### 󠀁[VERY OLD will Break WordPress 4.8.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-old-will-break-wordpress-4-8-2/)󠁿

 [KartHost](https://profiles.wordpress.org/karthost/) September 21, 2017

This plugin is very old, not sure why it is still in the WordPress plugin library.
This plugin was used on one of our clients WP sites (4.8.2) and broke the login 
page. Once this Plugin was deactivated their site worked fine again. DO NOT USE 
THIS PLUGIN.
