Descripció
Passster is the all-in-one password protection plugin for WordPress – secure pages, your entire website or partial content with passwords in seconds.
Passster offers three protection modes to cover every use case you may think of when it comes to password protecting your WordPress website.
Area protection
Areas are protected sections (partial content) that can be added via block or shortcode into a page.
You can easily add your content and edit it with your pagebuilder of choice and you get a shortcode that can be copied and used within your page.
Page protection
Edit a page, activate the protection and add a password – that’s it the password protection is set up.
It will protect the entire page for you but will still display the header and footer of your website, so it fits perfectly with any kind of theme.
Global Protection
Navigate to Passster -> Settings -> Global Protection, activate the protection, select a page and optionally exclude pages from the protection.
Once configured all visitors will be redirected to that page and need to provide the correct password to further navigate through your website.
Perfect for membership-like websites without all the configuration hustle you experienced before.
Password Protected Features (Free version)
Password Protect parts of your website
Easily protect parts of your website with password protected areas.
Create an area, copy and paste the generated shortcode into a page and it will be protected.
Password Protect pages
You can quickly protect entire pages with Passster by enabling the protection settings while editing it.
Password Protect child pages
Quickly set up password protection for child pages by enabling it on the parent page.
Once you change the password on the parent page it will be automatically update all child pages for you.
Global Password Protection
Quickly lock down your entire website behind a password with the built-in global password protection.
Unlock Password Protected Content without Page Refresh
Let visitors unlock your password-protected content without refreshing the page (by using Ajax).
That enhances the user expierence and offers a great way to restrict content without having to worry about caching conflicts.
Customize the password protection form
Passster offers a huge variety of settings to customize the password-protection form.
Change labels, description, colors of the form, headlines, buttons, modify the spacing (margin/padding) and center the form without touching code.
Cookie-based password-protection
Use the built-in cookie solution to unlock multiple password-protected areas or pages that share the same password.
Password Protected Features (Pro version)
Additionally to all the free features already mentioned there is also a pro version of Passster that enhances the feature set with:
Password protect content with multiple passwords
Use an unlimited number of passwords or bundle them within a password list for even easier management.
Quick Edit and Bulk Edit for password protection
Use the WordPress Quick Edit and Bulk Edit function to manage your protected pages or posts in no time.
Select the pages, set the protection mode and add your password and you can protect every page without even editing it.
Unlock password-protected content by user role or e-mail
Automatically unlock protected content for specific user roles or by providing e-mail addresses.
Expire Passwords
Expire passwords by the number of usages, first usage or after a specific time intervall (hours, days, weeks, months..)
Passster also includes detailed statistics so you know exactly:
- which password was used
- how often the password wad used
- when it will expire
Generate unlock links
You can generate unlock links that include an encrypted version of the password within the URL.
Once a visitor clicks on the link all protected areas and pages will be unlocked automatically without the necessity to manually add a password.
You can also use Bit.ly to automatically shorten the URLs for you.
Password Protect WooCommerce
Password Protect your WooCommerce store with Passster.
Protect products, cart, checkout, your store page and more with a password.
Sell access to protected content with WooCommerce
Passster automatically generates a password after purchasing the configured product and sends an e-mail to the user.
This e-mail includes the generated password and an unlock link for quick access.
It’s easy to set up and entirely automated so you don’t have spend hours getting into complex configuration setups you might know from membership plugins.
Password Usage Statistics
Get an detailed view into the password usage of your WordPress website.
Track the number of usages, the first usage, the IP (optional) and the browser used to unlock the content.
