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! ??

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.”)

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!

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