FAQ

Why password should be unmasked?

There will be less mistakes during login if user will see the password while typing. Jacob Nilsen about stop masking the password

Why โ€œremember meโ€ should be enabled by default?

Has the time come to kill the โ€œRemember meโ€ check box and just assume that people using shared computers will simply logout? – David Heinemeier Hansson from 37signals

Why do I need to increase login interval?

By default WordPress sets login interval to 14 days.
It is annoying for the users to enter login credentials every 14 days and setting login interval to 1 year more usable.
If user forgot to logout on public computer it is possible to visit user’s profile via link: http://site.com/wp-admin/profile.php and click โ€œLog Out of All Other Sessionsโ€ button.

I always hate that masked password not only in WP, but in all softwares and sites around the world. And all this time I think that advantages of this black-dots system is less than disadvantages. One time I even self-banned myself for 48-hours from logging into site, because I am typing password into different keysheets (not in latin-letters, but cyrilic). If only I have a choice TO SEE what exactly I am typing on, not guessing - that would be awesome. And now, thanks to this plugin, logging in WP-dashboard will be a little better and easier. Thanks, developer! =)
