Hi @patrickposner, the update to 3.5.4 went fine.

One note to others doing the upgrade from 3.5.2 to 3.5.4: in my case, the plugin installed but was de-activated, so briefly the website showed markup including the password. Be sure to activate it pronto!

Cheers,
David

Thanks @patrickposner, much appreciated… I’ll be applying the update sometime this week.

Cheers,
David

I also stumbled onto this issue. The symptoms were simply that the correct password failed to log in. I’m running WordPress 5.6.4. Plugins running are:
Akismet Anti-Spam 4.1.10
Automatic Domain Changer 2.0.2
Classic Editor 1.6.2
Contact Form 7 5.4.2
Flamingo 2.2.2
Passster 3.5.2 (reverted from 3.5.3)
ShareThis Dashboard for Google Analytics 2.5.2

Passster options are use cookie = on, and reload after successful validation = on.

Pages are using this markup:

[passster password="something" identifier="membersonly" cookie_expires="0"]

[/passster]

Hope this info helps.

For me, the solution was to use a “From” address on my web site domain that doesn’t have to be real, e.g. if I’m https://www.domain.com I used [email protected] even though that email address is not a real account. This satisfies Contact Form 7, so I can send “To” [email protected] which is a GMail alias, and the Reply To header value of the form sender’s email address then works:

Reply-To: [your-email]

Same error for me too. My solution was:
1) Deactivate all plugins by renaming the plugins folder as described here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/
2) Delete passster plug in
3) Download version 3.1.7
4) Upload and install 3.1.7

I updated about 8 plug-ins at once, and I don’t recall which version of passster I was using before upgrading.

ALSO NOTE: Once you deactivate all the plugins, your web site will be live again and the password mark-up will show-up in plain text on your pages, along with all the protected content. So either do this fix quickly or ensure your content is not displayed while you do the fix.
