Lockaire is a WordPress password protection plugin that lets you create a custom password page instead of relying on the default WordPress password form.<\/p>\n\n
Want to password protect a WordPress page or post while keeping control over its appearance? Lockaire lets you create a dedicated password page, add your password form using a shortcode, and configure which content requires a password.<\/p>\n\n
Whether you want to protect private content, restrict access to a specific page, or create a branded password entry experience, Lockaire gives you a simple way to manage password-protected content from your WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n\n
Unlike a plain default password form, your custom password page can use your own page layout, text, images, and design.<\/p>\n\n
