76 Quality Score
Active Installs
14/30

With 1,000 active installs, the plugin has a modest but focused user base, which is reasonable given its extremely narrow feature set.

Update Freshness
25/25

A perfect maintenance score reflects that the plugin was updated very recently and clearly tracks current WordPress releases, including 6.9.4.

User Rating
15/15

A perfect rating from 5 reviewers is encouraging, though the small sample size means it is too early to draw broad conclusions.

Support Health
8/15

Support health sits at a middling 50, driven entirely by the absence of any support threads, which means there is simply no public track record to evaluate.

WP Compatibility
15/15

Full compatibility marks are earned through a low minimum WordPress requirement of 4.9, a PHP 7.4 floor, and confirmation against the latest 6.9.4 release.

What It Does

This plugin stops WordPress from sending admin notification emails when users trigger password resets. It targets a single, specific hook in WordPress core and nothing else, so it does not affect password reset emails sent to the actual user. Setup is essentially zero-config: install, activate, and the admin notification stops.

Who It's For

This is best suited for site administrators on large membership platforms, SaaS portals, or community forums where frequent password resets flood the admin inbox with unwanted notifications. It also fits educational sites and enterprise applications where the admin team already manages user accounts through other tools and does not need duplicate email alerts.

Who Should Skip It

Small sites with only a handful of users, or anyone who relies on those admin notifications to detect suspicious password reset activity, should skip this plugin entirely.

The Bottom Line

Disable User Password Reset Admin Notifications is a tidy, single-purpose plugin that does exactly what its name promises with zero configuration. Its overall quality score of 75.93 reflects solid maintenance and compatibility tempered by limited popularity and no public support history. It earns a recommendation for administrators on high-traffic sites who are drowning in reset notifications, but everyone else should likely just uncheck a checkbox in their user profile settings instead.
