Passwords or Keys

  • I’m looking for a specific plugin, not sure if it exists, so I’m asking the greater community for their ideas. I would like to offer students access to a page or post much like a password-protected page. That’s not too difficult to do if I wanted to use just ONE password. However, I would like to use UNIQUE passwords — “keys” — for the students to use as passwords.

    Students would each be given a unique key to access the page/post.
    I could upload a csv of keys or set up somehow access to the page/post.

    Any ideas?

  • Hi.
    If your idea is to use those keys as access passwords only so as to keep other people out, then why not just use the WP User functionality? By that I mean create Users in WP for your students and make the content in question accessible to logged in users.
    You might find these WP functions useful:
    is_user_logged_in
    current_user_can
    Also, for security purposes, you should assign low-level user roles to them to avoid any problems. You can use Role Manager or any other role managing plugin for this.
    Cheers!
