 * I recently installed your plugin to protect downloads on a WordPress site (V 
   5.6.1) and have the following problem:
 * When I edit and save a user, the password of the user is also changed, although
   I have NOT changed the password or pressed the button “Change password”! I have
   already checked this error and it only occurs when the plugin is activated!

 * Yes, it’s about editing users in the normal wordpress user location.

 * Any news? Because this problem happened on a live site and the password change
   was already sent to a user who was not quite happy about it!
 * Otherwise i have to remove this plugin!

 * Update! After getting help from a dev, it seems that the evil guy is the chrome
   browser itself!!!
 * Even if the password auto-filling feature was disabled, the password itself was
   filled in the hidden fields. Even during normal login the fields were filled 
   in, no matter what is set!
 * So Goodby Google Chrome Password Manager, hello KexPassXC.
 * Sorry if I mistakenly suspected your program!
