Hi @wpwanderer,
Thanks for reaching out to us last night. We hope you’ve had a great weekend so far.
Yes, our PDA plugin does authenticate file access permission via user accounts, which is much more secure than front-end cookies validation.
In fact, our plugins allow you to grant protected files access to authorized users, e.g. logged-in users only.
Unauthorized users will be redirected to your custom No Access page, which is set under our PDA settings page.
Does it make sense to you, @wpwanderer?
Anyway, could you please share with us what you want to achieve with our plugins in more detail, e.g. your use case, so that we can advise you better?
Have you had a chance to try out our PDA Lite (Free) version yet, by the way?
It offers key file protection features and the exact look and feel of our Gold version.
You might also want to drop us an email at hello(at)preventdirectaccess.com so that our team can support you faster.
