## Description

Limiting the cookie expire time of password protected posts. By default the cookie
set when entering a password to access a password-protected post will be active 
for 10 days. This plugin turns this cookie into a session-based cookie. This means
your visitor will need to re-enter the password if the browser was closed prior 
to revisiting the post.

## Installation

By following these instruction, you’ll be able to install Instant Cookie Expire.

e.g.

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/instant-cookie-expire` directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.

## FAQ

  I closed the browsertab and opened a new one, but your plugin does not work?

This is expected behaviour. Since the cookie works session-based, a password won’t
be requested again unless the user closes the browser entirely.

Attempted to use this with my protected pages. Made sure that I emptied my cookies
first so that I knew I’d have to enter the password. Entered PW, fully closed broswer,
came back in and had no issue openeing the pages. Uninstalled and off to find another
solution.
