 * We have events and classes that are open only to approved students. I have assigned
   a password to the products, and give that to the students who are allowed to 
   purchase it. Roughly 90% have no issue; however about 10% upon entering the password
   either nothing happens or they receive an unauthorized access error. This is 
   happening more and more. I would greatly appreciate any help. I have deleted 
   the htaccess file and recreated it, hoping that would help, (it has not), this
   happens across all OS & iOS and on all browsers.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpassword-protected-products%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@kdrwhat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kdrwhat/) 👋
 * Firstly, could you please please specify how you are adding passwords to your
   products? Are you using a plugin for this?
 * Additionally, could you please share a copy of your site’s System Status? You
   can find it via **WooCommerce > Status**. Select “Get system report” and then“
   Copy for support”.  Once you’ve done that, paste it here in your response.
 * Thanks!

 * Dear Gabriel,
 * Thank you for replying. No, I’m not using a plugin – I just add the password 
   to the product in Woocommerce under ‘visibility’ password protected, which is
   why I can’t find any source of help since Woocommerce denied my support ticket.
 * Again, thank you so much for any help!
 * Sincerely,
 * Karen

 * Hey there!
 * It looks like you’re using a couple security type plugins. Those could very likely
   be interfering with this here.
 * *iQ Block Country: by Pascal – 1.2.11
    *Wordfence Security: by Wordfence – 7.5.4
 * You can likely see if they have logs of what the plugin does (so you can see 
   if they are declining your students).
 * The other option would be user error; the students are just typing in the password
   wrong.

 * Thank you very much, I’ll look into the security logs. The students assure me
   they’re entering things correctly, as that’s the first thing I ask, but of course
   I have no real way of knowing other than that.
    The odd thing is, as I said about
   90% have no issues and since I can’t duplicate the error, I’ve been at a loss.
   Thank you again for offering a place to start to look.

 * Thank you, I did check all the security logs. Nothing is there regarding the 
   students who are unable to access the product that is password protected.
 * Also, since they are able to access the non-password protected products, I would
   think if it were a security issue, they would not be able to do so.
 * So please, still in need of help!
    Thank you, Karen

 * Hi Karen 👋
 * Well, that’s strange. I would recommend disabling both security plugins and asking
   one of your students who is having this issue to try again just to confirm that
   those plugins aren’t causing the issue.
 * Let us know how it goes 🙂

 * It’s been a while so we were just checking if you were able to make some headway

 * Hi [@kdrwhat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kdrwhat/),
 * Sorry for the delayed reply here! Are you still having issues?
 * If you’re able to gather more information from the students who do have problems
   logging in, that might point to a certain pattern. Without a reliable way of 
   reproducing the issue, however, it’s difficult to point you towards a next step.
