This happened simply by activating the plugin. If you have password-protected pages, those pages will instantly lose their protection once this plugin is employed. Thankfully, I only had one page to fix, but it was still a catastrophic discovery since I only discovered the issue randomly and after 10 hours had passed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A security plugin should at the minimum not make a site less secure once it is installed. I hope the development team of this plugin will make the appropriate changes to prevent this kind of behavior in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-16390257","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-page"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/16390257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/16390257\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16390257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
