Password being reset on every visit to settings page

    If I go to the plugin settings page and click ‘Save Changes’ (with or without making any setting changes) the password that I had previously set is reset to something. I have no idea what to as the subsequent login on my site does not accept my password or the default password. This means every time I go the settings page I have to re-enter my password in the ‘The password’ field. The password field on the settings page always contains 11 ‘blobs’ even though my password is only 7 characters long and the password field on the actual site login form also always shows 11 ‘blobs’ – I don’t know if that is a clue as to what is going on. I am using the plugin version 1.5.1

    I think I may have the answer – it appears to be because I saved the WordPress login details for my domain in the browser meaning that I do not have to enter the password each time I login to work on the site. This results in the password fields in both the ACP settings page and the ACP user ‘login’ page when browsing to a ‘protected’ category being autofilled with my WordPress password. So whenever I clicked ‘Save Changes’ in the settings it saved my WordPress login password thus overwriting the ‘user’ password that I had set. If I do not save my WordPress login password in the browser it all appears to work as expected.
