It is suggested to apply the default recommended settings. However, you can tweak it as needed. Also, within the FluentAuth plugin screen, you can access the main dashboard, which gives you a good overview of recent failed, blocked, and successful logins.

The logs screen will give you more information about your site’s login activity. You can also delete logs from within the logs screen. Default log retention is set for 30 days.

Setting up social login, which currently supports GitHub and will support Google in the future, is straightforward. Login redirects are another easy-to-use feature that FluentAuth supports.

Basic login redirects can be set up on the screen along with setting up advanced login redirects, which can be driven by user role or user capability.

The FluentAuth plugin uses the following custom database tables for the storage of data;
