password timeout

The cookie saving the password will last 10 days, as defined by WordPress, not this plugin.

You can change that period with a code snippet added to your functions.php in your theme:

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/295152/change-the-default-10-day-expiration-for-the-password-protected-pages-cookie

This example would save the password only 30 seconds:

/**
 * Filters the life span of the post password cookie.
 *
 * By default, the cookie expires 10 days from creation. To turn this
 * into a session cookie, return 0.
 *
 * @since 3.7.0
 *
 * @param int $expires The expiry time, as passed to setcookie().
 */
add_filter( 'post_password_expires', 'wpse_custom_post_password_expires' );
function wpse_custom_post_password_expires( $expires ) {
    return time() + 30; // Expire in 30 seconds
}
