## Beskrywing

This plugin allows passwords for password-protected pages/posts to be passed directly
through the URL.

The query string parameter that should contain the password is `pw`.

For example, if the URL of your post is `http://myblog.com/password-protected-page/`
and the password is `PASSWORD`,
 then just append `?pw=PASSWORD` to it.

If the URL already contains a query string (for example, `http://myblog.com/?p=5`),
then be sure to append `&pw=PASSWORD` instead.

## Installation

In order to install the plugin, please follow these steps:

 1. Upload `plugin-name.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

Great plugin that does exactly what it says and nothing else. No configuration, 
just works. Love it.

This WordPress plugin for sending passwords for password-protected pages in a Wordpress-
Site via URL is great. It offers a convenient way to share passwords via URL when
needed, saving time and hassle. Great for specific use cases, but ensure it’s used
judiciously to maintain security.

I just tried it with WordPress 5.1 and it seems to be working fine. I hope it continues
to get updated since there doesn’t appear to be anything like it.
