Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview
About this plugin
Prevent users from logging into your WordPress installation for a certain timeframe or permanently. Works also great with the multisite user management area.
The locked users are easily manageable within the users overview page. The settings are within the user edit pages.
No user can lock himself. No user with a lower role can lock a higher user and administrators in a network can not lock super administrators.
If a user is locked, he is instantly logged out of any session until the lock expires or is removed.
No useless overhead, no ads. Just a tiny, but very effective plugin to keep your website secure.
Use cases:
you do not want to delete a user, but you want to make sure he can not access the site (at least for a certain timeframe)
an employee leaves your company and access should be removed, but you want to keep his user as an author in the system
you want to punish a certain user which did bad things for a certain timeframe
you want only few persons to have access to your WordPress site in order to minimize risk of incidents
… or maybe some other use case
