## Beskrywing

Whenever you try to login into your website, you can use this plugin to trasmit 
your password encrypted. The encryption process is done by the Chap protocol; this
is particularly useful when you can’t use ssl or other kinds of secure protocols.
By activating the ChapSecureLogin plugin, the only information transmitted unencrypted
is the username; password is hided with a random number (nonce) generated by the
session – and opportunely transformed by the SHA-256 algorithm.
 In the first login
there will be an error, but don’t worry is only a tecnical error. Indeed in the 
next login’s operation, if the values are correct, there will not be errors, but
you give mind because the password will sended in unencrypted way. If you want more
details about this algorithm, check [“Building a CHAP Login System”](http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/JavaScript/Building-a-CHAP-Login-System-An-ObjectOriented-Approach/).
This is a zero-configuration plugin.

I spent a few hours to figure this out: chap-secure-login breaks login to the wp
admin panel.

This is a great concept, but is no longer supported. Check under Last Updated before
installing to see how far out of date it is. For me, I couldn’t log in after the
installation (the admin panel was inaccessible). This will disable your ability 
to log in with current versions of WordPress. If you install and get locked out,
here is how I recovered my account. Log in with FTP and rename the CHAP folder (
I added _BACKUP to the name). Then when you next log in, WordPress will disable 
the plug-in. Then you can log in and delete the plugin.

This plugin locks certain users out, saying they have a wrong username and/or password.
I have this problem when using firefox or IE, and combined with Wordfence plugin.
After I deactivated this plugin, I had no problem to login again.
