Protected Posts Logout Button is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance the security of password-protected content. This tool adds a convenient logout button directly to any password-protected post, allowing users to log out easily. The plugin addresses the common concern regarding the default 10-day cookie expiration by setting the cookie to expire immediately, thus ensuring that sensitive information is only accessible for the desired duration. With AJAX functionality, it provides a seamless experience for users.

The plugin operates effectively whether the user is logged in or out, utilizing the same mechanisms that WordPress employs for cookie management. It features a user-friendly settings page to facilitate configuration. Additionally, the plugin offers a notification option to alert users when they have successfully logged out, enhancing the overall user experience and security of password-protected content.
