Timely & helpful support, even on the free version. Great plugin with an extremely helpful development team!

Way too limiting for the free version and paid is too expensive
I need something so simple, just an app that locks all the site but the homepage. $180/year is too much for this simple requirement. They advertise they have more features for free than any competitor, but I did not see anything different than the other password keepers.

Excellent PPWP Lite product & Great support
I am extremely happy with simplicity and effectiveness of even this free product which is not the case with most other products. The support I received from Quinnie was phenomenal and unusual for a free product. She was patient and persistent in helping and solving the issue. Thanks.
