NUCUTA

‘Nucuta Password Protect’ is a security plugin which password protects wordpress websites. Requires PHP 5.6.30 or Above.
The plugin uses a custom password, and therefore it’s completely independant from default wordpress password uses to access to the admin area of the site. Users can be restricted to access the site either based on their user group or altogether.
The available user groups are “editor”, “author”, “contributor”, “subscriber”. if a particular group is excluded from protecting from the custom password, users belong to that group won’t be asked the password. Clicking on the log off button logs off from the entire website, meaning the user has to enter the password to access the site again. By default, all users (both guests and registered logged in users) are required to enter the password before accessing the site, but by configuring, logged in users can be excluded. The plugins blocks not only visitors, but also bots, spiders, and all kind of crawlers.
Custom message can be set for both logged in/non-logged in users, A separate login page is provided to login purpose. Password is salted before storing in the database, and therefore security is top notch. The full documentation, and how to use guide can be found at this location. <a href="https://nucuta.com/how-to-password-protect-wordpress-site/" rel="nofollow ugc">Documentation, Help and Tutorial</a>

As a WordPress owner who values both security and a seamless user experience, you often face the challenge of protecting sensitive information. Most password solutions force your visitors to register for an account, granting them potential access to your WordPress environment.
This is where “OTP Content Protect” comes in, offering an innovative way to protect your content with a One-Time Password (OTP).
Our plugin was designed to give you full control over your content without opening the doors to your WordPress backend for strangers. Easily and effectively protect individual posts, pages, or even downloads. Your visitors don’t need an account and don’t have to register—they simply enter the one-time password you provide and get instant access.
By not granting unnecessary backend access, you actively minimize the risk of hacker or spam activities. “OTP Content Protect” is the perfect blend of simplicity, security, and innovation, making it the ideal password protection for your WordPress site when you need to lock specific content without burdening users with registration.
