unresolved wp_mail From bug for at least 3 years
This plugin forces notifications from [email protected]. This tripped security measures on a site I'm working on.
The issue has been mentioned over three years ago yet still exist. I do not recommend this plugin.

Congrats on your fantastic plugin!
It would be great to have an option to change the slug along with the username. Also, a hint about purging object cache (e.g., for LiteSpeed users) would be helpful.
Thanks!
