Does this plugin automatically enable password protection on every post?

No. It allows you to use a global password for every post that you choose to password protect.

Is the global password just for posts?

Despite the name of the plugin, anything that is password protected on your blog will use the global password - this includes pages and custom post types as well as regular posts.

How do I change the global post password?

Visit the 'Settings -> Privacy' menu in WordPress and you'll see the option to change the password there.

Do I have to have administrator privileges to change the global post password?

Yes. Only users with the 'manage_options' capability can change the global post password. By default, only administrators have this capability.

What if I forget the password?

Visit the 'Settings -> Privacy' menu in WordPress and the password will be displayed there. And don't forget it again.

What's the correct way to remove the global post password?

If you want to remove the global post password functionality and return to per-post passwords, just disable or uninstall the plugin and normal password protection will return. Password protected posts will remain protected with the password you last set under 'Settings -> Privacy'.

How secure are password protected posts?

This plugin uses WordPress' built-in password protection system and simply enables you to set the password for all password protected posts globally. There are no known ways to read a password protected post without knowing the password for it.

Can users log out of password protected posts?

Yes. Try my Logout of Password Protected Posts plugin which provides this functionality.
