 * I set up a page requiring a password to enter. After leaving the site, the page
   can be entered again on the same computer without a password. The cookie has 
   set it to expire after more than a week. How can I change it to expire at end
   of session?

   this shows how to make them last longer, but you can use it to make them expire
   quicker

 * I tryed this solution myself with no luck
    I have a page with a flash live screen
   and the page password protected User can re enter the page without password Or
   steal the flash video url and watch without any restrictions, so i face the password
   protection on pages doesn’t protect the content at all once the user can access
   that page.
 * Basically i set the video to close after 5 mins
    and set the pluggable.php 1209600&
   172800 To 5 mins, the user can still access the page
 * There should be a way to have the page passwords auto change when ever you want
