Destructive Plugin
-
I installed this plugin briefly on a production server (bad idea!) to evaluate, not expecting it to destroy existing protection on sensitive pages. This happened simply by activating the plugin. If you have password-protected pages, those pages will instantly lose their protection once this plugin is employed. Thankfully, I only had one page to fix, but it was still a catastrophic discovery since I only discovered the issue randomly and after 10 hours had passed.
A security plugin should at the minimum not make a site less secure once it is installed. I hope the development team of this plugin will make the appropriate changes to prevent this kind of behavior in the future.
