 * On entering a false password (at least):
 * `PHP Deprecated: parse_str(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type 
   string is deprecated in /server/path/wp-content/plugins/password-protect-page/
   core/class-ppw-functions.php on line 606`

 * Hi [@sadhaka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sadhaka/) ,
 * Thank you for sharing this with us and bringing it to our attention.
 * Our dev team has checked and fixed the issue and will release the updated version
   soon. We’re conducting final tests to ensure there are no bugs before the release,
   so releasing it might take a little time.
 * If you’d like to get the modified version to fix the issue immediately, please
   contact us via [our PPWP Contact Form](https://passwordprotectwp.com/contact/)
   to receive it.
 * Best
