Very useful plugin

Like the title says, a very useful and easy to use plugin.

This was exactly what I needed to make my blog only visible for some next to kin followers. Great job! 🙂

Still working perfectly

This plugin is still working perfectly, just as described.

(Can you update the compatibility version? It shows this on install: "Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.")

Works perfectly

Works just as expected. Thanks a lot!

Very Nicely Done

This plugin perfectly reproduces the functionality of .htpasswd on Apache. We needed a solution like this for a website that is running on OpenLiteSpeed, and it works perfectly. Thank you!

Great for basic privacy

Plugin does what it promises: easy and quick HTTP-like authentication. Easy to install and use.
