It's very useful plugin but I'd much love if developer put some UX enhancements. Thank you

I love this one. Alot of security settings, but you need a lot of technical knowledge to use them. I would like to have a temporary disable function. The day after I installed it, I locked myself out for installing plugins, so I disabled some functions, but the point is you must remember to turn them om again when you are done. A temporary disable for say max 24 hours would be an awesome addition.
