Great

Great plugin, but I wish to use a QR code for scanning when I log in.

Simply a missing feature in .ORG

Works! Uses WordPress UI, is super lightweight, not overdesigned, and is trivial to set up. Great job!

Excellent, working with Azure AD

Works very well with Azure AD, nice and simple but enough functionality. Only tricky part was the attribute mapping: These can be found in Azure AD, click the edit button on User Attributes & mapping,
