 * Hello!
 * We’ve used this plugin to great effect for many years. However, we’ve recently
   changed hosts to WPEngine, where the plugin no longer works due to a conflict
   with their caching mechanism. Wondering if there is a known workaround or fix?
 * They do offer built-in password protection, but it sets up with a username/password
   combo, and we’d must prefer password-only. Thanks!

 * I use WPEngine and you have to have them turn caching off for the cookie “bid_1_password_protected_auth”.
   That will make it work with no problem.
