WordPress 2.1 and Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin

One of my blogs uses Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin for password protection. As of now, it is not listed as a plugin compatible with WordPress 2.1.

I don’t want to upgrade and try it out, because I really don’t want those pages just sitting exposed, in the case it doesn’t work.

Has anyone else tried this specific plugin with WP 2.1? If not, can anyone recommend something that does something similar? All it does link people to a login page when they first come to the blog. Only those with a valid username and password are allowed to see anything.

Thanks a lot,

Milan
