Authenticator

This is the first plugin I install on every new website to protect it until going live.

Never had any problems with this handy piece of software.

Thanks,

This plugin allows you to make your WordPress site accessible to logged in users only.

<p>This widget is plain and simple and allows you to handle logins and password retrieval without a separate login screen. Install, add widget, done. Well, maybe<br />
not quite. You may want to modify the stylesheet a little bit to match your theme’s needs…</p>
<p>YALW rebuilds quite a bunch of features offered by wp-login.php instead of using the features therein because it is hardly possible. I had the option to<br />
refactor the file wp-login.php, making its functionality better accessible from the outside, and thus contributing to the WordPress Core. I thought about that<br />
possibility for approximately 0.0897 seconds (which is a long time for an android) but decided against. I am merely a casual programmer and I don’t have the<br />
time or ambition to deal with the project management processes of the WordPress development community in order to promote my changes, hoping they might be<br />
integrated some day. I need to get shit done. And, more importantly, I don’t consider myself a good programmer. It’s probably not advisable for me to tinker<br />
with such a crucial part of WordPress.</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/plocha/" title="edik" rel="nofollow ugc">edik</a> for his support and to <a href="https://github.com/akoww" rel="nofollow ugc">akoww</a> for fixing bugs!</p>
