Password Expire date

  • I’m looking for something that would expire the password once it’s been used also. The previous topic was closed. However, it would also be useful if the password changed everyday. My suggestion would be to use an algorithm based on system date change. Use a Random Generated Hash to calculate and deliver a password, immediately the date changes. You could allow the Post or Page admin, to view what todays password is for the page. Factor in to the algorithm the email of the admin, and that should make it unique for each user, and also have the option to change the time period for a post or a page, where you would like it to change. i.e. 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week etc. Let me know if you do this.

    My reason is I don’t people in a particular sector to find out certain information easily, and I would only send people to the page, with whom I have dealt with. The only problem I see, is that I have a Form Embedded in that page, and I would still like to give that user the time to complete the form as they could take a few weeks to gather information we need from them.

    Just a thought. The one time use would work if associated to the user email, if it had an expiry date when they must complete the info required on that page form.

  • Hi @toprobroy
    Why don’t you change the cookie expiration time? When visitors enter the password, a cookie will be stored in their browser, so they can re-access your protected page multiple times without providing password until the cookie expires.
    Instead of making password expire after 1 hour, for example, you can make cookie expire after 1 hour, so they have to re-enter the password to see your content. Is it match your need?
    Refer to https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/hooks/post_password_expires/ on how to change WordPress default cookie expiration time.

    Thanks. Good suggestion. I’ve asked a further question about where and how to put that in, at the topic link you provided. I may try that soon.

    Many thanks
