Like the title says, a very useful and easy to use plugin. This was exactly what I needed to make my blog only visible for some next to kin followers. Great job! 🙂

This plugin is still working perfectly, just as described.(Can you update the compatibility version? It shows this on install: “Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.”)

This plugin perfectly reproduces the functionality of .htpasswd on Apache. We needed a solution like this for a website that is running on OpenLiteSpeed, and it works perfectly. Thank you!
