 * This feature will cause you to get locked out of your site. It will send you 
   a few emails for your “authentication codes” and then it will stop completely.
   Next you’ll be in your database deactivating the plugin. Wouldn’t recommend.

 * It does work. The only common error thing is you’re copy pasting the code that
   it tends to include a space at the beginning and you’ll barely notice it as the
   code looks correct but the space will lead to wrong code error then it will send
   you another new code again and you’ll do it again and again until you get blocked.
   Culprit, failure to noticed a space unless you manually enter it.
