It relies on the “application password” core feature introduced in WordPress 5.6. and add it extra features and controls. You can limit usage of application passwords, on a per role basis: * maximum passwords per user; * specific usage: none (blocks usage), only authentication and revocation or full management (with password creation). For each roles defined on your site, you can define a period during which a password can be unused before auto-revocation. **Keys Master** can report the following main items and metrics: * KPIs: authentication success, number, creations and revocations of passwords, adoption and usage rate; * channels breakdown; * clients breakdown (requires the free [Device Detector](https://wordpress.org/plugins/device-detector/) plugin); * countries breakdown (requires the free [IP Locator](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-locator/) plugin); * site breakdowns in multisites environments. **Keys Master** supports a set of WP-CLI commands to: * manage WordPress application passwords (list, create and revoke) – see `wp help apwd password` for details; * toggle on/off main settings – see `wp help apwd settings` for details; * modify operations mode – see `wp help apwd mode` for details; * display passwords statistics – see `wp help apwd analytics` for details.
