Full Page Password Protect

Full Page Password Protect extends the built-in WordPress password protection feature.

With the default WordPress setting, only the post content may be hidden while other parts of the page can still appear, such as the title, featured image, custom fields, and theme output. This plugin replaces the full page with a simple password screen until the correct password is entered.

The plugin uses the standard WordPress password form and password handling. It does not add a separate login system, custom cookies, user accounts, or password storage.

It also helps reduce accidental exposure of protected content in archive pages, search results, taxonomy listings, and REST API responses.
