How to track based on password

    Hi there!
    we’ve been using the PRO version of this plugin for a while, globally protecting a site with a list of passwords.
    Recently we’ve upgraded the plugin’s version to the latest and we’re experiencing some issues:

    • The refresh is no longer working upon login success.
    • We used to track all the user’s actions getting the password through base64_decode( $_COOKIE[‘passster’] ) but this is no longer working as expected. How can I get that in order to continue to track page visits, etc once a user has logged in?
    • To provide more info, the $_COOKIE[‘passster’] exists, it’s just encoded in a way that I can’t see who is the user that logged in.

    Thanks!

    follow-up here, I found this hook in the documentation: passster_disable_base_encryption
    But it doesn’t seem to be working – please let me know your thoughts!
    Thank you!

    Hey @dianahellonextstep,

    thanks for reaching out!

    Sadly, that no longer works anymore. To continue to be listed here on www.ads-software.com, I had to rework that part and implement one-way encryption (otherwise, it would have been removed for security reasons).

    So even by using the filter, you will not be able to get the password (just a hash)

    You may want to use another action instead to track the passwords: https://gist.github.com/patrickposner/9345c3ecff5c7480cbef8a4a8ee4a172

    This action will be used for the reporting/analytics integration coming to Passster Pro in version 4.2, so it should be a good starting point.

    Best regards,
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick, thanks for your response. We’re actually using that function to track the login action, but we want to track further actions from the users.. We’ll see if we can find a workaround.

    Also, please can you advise on the other issue I was mentioning: The ajax refresh is no longer working upon login success.
