<p><em>It’s way too easy to accidentally publish or update a post on WordPress.</em></p>

<p>Post Lock prevents accidental updating or publishing of content by requiring a password to do either.</p>
<ul>
<li>Adds a layer of protection without adding a headache: unlocking a post is a seamless experience and takes a few seconds.</li>
<li>Works on all post types (you can easily exclude or include post types with a plugin filter).</li>
<li>Simple, solid code.</li>
<li>If a post is unlocked, and two beats of the WordPress Heartbeat API happen without action (which is usally 30 seconds, 15 per beat), then the post is re-locked.</li>
<li>Numerous plugin filters make it easy to customize the plugin.</li>
</ul>
