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');
