Next. Use “Very Simple Password for Wordpress” by Lucas Bustamante instead. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8e869e11cf8feb538fc336e34395735a40f6685300c91af65e7e6a243c844f3e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Really, really bad..](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/really-really-bad/)󠁿 [j4ck05](https://profiles.wordpress.org/j4ck05/) August 22, 2017 This plugin is totally useless.

It should read: support only an unanswered e-mail away. Not worth the money you pay for it at all. Forget these guys and this plugin!. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/85213d8eb106095287882fa6a7ec412a8830180d0e5864721ce7b9794a0068f6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very good plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-good-plugin-572/)󠁿 [Aleks2016](https://profiles.wordpress.org/aleks2016/) September 3, 2016 Very good plugin [ Read all 45 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/password-protect-wordpress/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Password Protect WordPress” is open source software.
