multiple passwords

The plugin doesn’t allow you to do that out-the-box but if you are happy to do a bit of PHP coding and are familiar with WordPress filters you can add support for that via some WordPress hooks.

When a password is entered, it is checked against the password stored in the settings, but the plugin also runs the password_protected_process_login filter.

You could use this filter to check the value of $password_protected_pwd and return true if it matches an alternative password.

This a good plugin but would be a really awesome plugin if it could do that.

Hey Ben, this is a great plugin!

Would you be willing to add this feature in the near future?

Although not ideal from a security standpoint, adding this to your functions.php would allow multiple passwords (in this example, pass1, pass2 and pass3) to work:

function password_protected_process_login_callback($password_protected_pwd) {
	$password_protected_pwd = $_REQUEST['password_protected_pwd'];
	if(
		$password_protected_pwd == "pass1" ||
		$password_protected_pwd == "pass2" ||
		$password_protected_pwd == "pass3"
	){
    	return true;
    }
}
add_filter('password_protected_process_login','password_protected_process_login_callback');
