WP Basic Authentication

Go to Authentication in the left-hand menu to start setting the plugin

Rename or delete ‘wp-basic-authentication’ directory in plugins directory via FTP or commend line

If you’re updating from a version older than 1.1.0, your existing password will be automatically migrated to the new secure hashed format. You don’t need to change your password – the plugin will handle this automatically and show you a success message in the WordPress admin.
