If you have ever thought of providing password hint for any protected posts, this plugin will be useful. It replaces the boiler-plate password form with a form containing hints.

Traditionally all password protected posts contain a string looking like:

Without any capability to change the string, one must provide the hint in another post, which is a bit clumsy. Not to mention, people viewing the single protected post only will be unable to see the hint at all. With this plugin protected posts are more usable.

Usage

A picture is worth a hundred words:

The password hint is taken from a certain custom field within the protected post, with key name ‘password_hint’. If this key is present, the value of key is immediately taken as the password hint. Without the key, the standard password form is shown again… well, with some little enhancement actually. The password form will not be mangled by content autoformatting done by WordPress, and you can change the style of password form with style sheets!

Hint is shown along with password box
