‘Password request for every page’ bug

Unless I am logged into the back end of my site, after initially getting past the Hide My Site password page to the site’s home page, the password page pops back up every time I go to a different page on the site. Changing the duration in the plugin’s settings does nothing to help change this behavior. How do we set the plugin so that a tester doesn’t have to re-log in to see each individual page? It seems like this was a bug that you resolved some time ago but it has reappeared.
