View or change password

    I have been using this PPWP Lite plugin since time immemorial for my websites in development. I never had any issues. I assumed it was being updated regularly as I have not seen anything warnings. The password is for the entire website. I now need to disable it for a certain reason. I tried to find the field for the password to remove it, but I can’t see anything. The password must be there somewhere, as nobody can see the site without entering the password. I would very much appreciate a quick reply – I do need it. Thank you for your understanding.

    Another question: I could deactivate the plugin. But I need to know if the same password will be there (somewhere – as I can’t see it) after I have activated it again.

    Hi @mica123,

    Thanks for reaching out, and I’m glad to hear PPWP Lite has been working well for you.

    To disable the Sitewide protection, please go to:

    WP Admin → Password Protect WordPress → Sitewide Protection tab

    You should see the Sitewide Protection section there. Simply toggle off the “Password Protect the entire site” option and save your changes. Once disabled, the site will become publicly accessible without needing a password.

    Regarding your second question:
    If you deactivate the plugin, the password protection will be removed immediately. When you reactivate PPWP Lite, the previous settings—including the global password—will remain exactly as before unless you manually change or remove them.

    If you still don’t see the global password field or the settings page, feel free to share a screenshot and we’ll help you check what might be happening.

    Let me know if you need anything else!

    Thank you so much! Much appreciated! How do I add the password back or change it? It seems that this password is now managed in every page?

    Hi @mica123,

    Thanks for your follow-up!

    To add or change the password for your entire website, you don’t need to edit each page individually. PPWP Lite still supports global site-wide protection.

    In the “Password Protect the Entire Website” section, you’ll find the field to:

    • Add a new global password
    • Or remove it entirely

    If the sitewide protection is enabled, this is where the password is managed—not inside individual pages.

    If you’re not seeing that section at all, feel free to share a screenshot and I can help you locate it.
