  • Simple and Useful Plugin

    Running a small site to keep track of configuration and wiring details for alarms, power panels, network switches, telephone extensions, etc. I wanted to be able to use my phone's camera and a QR code sticker on each unit to quickly bring up the related details from the site, while keeping the content private. Now I just password protect each page I create and generate a URL with this plugin that I can print as a QR code. Simple, and easy solution to keeping my content private and easily accessible. Two thumbs up and 5 Stars.
