Per-password role bypass
Each password can have its own list of roles that skip it. This is separate from the global role bypass in Settings, and adds to it.
Example: you protect a page with a client password, and tick Shop Manager on that password. Shop managers see the page without typing anything; everyone else needs the password.
Ordering and duplicating
- Drag to reorder — grab the handle at the left of any row in the Passwords list and drag. The order is saved immediately.
- Duplicate — copies a password’s scope, role bypass and schedule into a new entry.
Important: a duplicated password is created Inactive and with a new, unusable password value. Stored passwords are hashed and cannot be read back, so the copy cannot reuse the original’s value. Set a new password and activate it.
Ordering affects how the list is displayed and organised. It does not change which password wins — that is decided by scope specificity, as described in How the plugin decides what to protect.
Password Usage Limits (PRO)
You can cap how many times a password may be used in total.
When creating or editing a password, enter a number in the Usage Limit field. Once the limit is reached, the password will automatically expire and stop working.
