I my attempt to write my travel stories in internet cafés without worries I wrote the Login Virtual Keyboard plugin sometime ago. However, using a virtual keyboard to prevent keylogging is somewhat clumsy and is still not entirely safe.
To improve safety I recently wrote the One-Time Password plugin that enables me to login to my weblog using passwords which are valid for one session only, so my main WordPress password cannot be stolen. The plugin is simple to use, just install it, generate a password list and you can start logging-in using one-time passwords.
For even more safety, I added the possibility to protect administrative actions with one-time passwords in version 2.

[...] WordPress Plugin: One-Time Password [...]
hi, i wanted to use this password protection for a specific page, not in all page, is it possible by this plug-ins?
The One-Time Password plugin is meant to protect your weblog. I don’t see why it could be useful to protect a specific page. Maybe you can elaborate on what you are trying to accomplish.
in our web site, we wanted to have a page which is password protected and only invited user can see the page. so I wanted to use one time password to view that page.
Maybe I will realize this feature in the future, but it is not very high on the priority list.
Hello
I feel really funny about this ….
I installed your plugin, sent to settings and did everything and then pressed Generate.
But … where is the list of passwords supposed to go? Where am I supposed to pick it up, because there’s no list on the same page (ie settings page where I supposedly generated them).
Am I supposed to go to another page to pick up the list? (scratching head)
Thanks in advance.
The One-Time Password list should appear at the top of the same page, but the page is positioned in such a way that the Print button below the list is visible. Maybe your password was too short, look for error messages near the generate button. If you still have trouble sent me a screen shot and I will try to help you further.

I guess the just released version 1.2 will fix your problem as well, please let me know.
A German translation would be very welcome! A Dutch .po file is included in the distribution.
Hi there,
Version 1.2 works fine. THanks.

Hi, nice plugin. I have a problem cuz the plug don’t show in the login page the correct message but it show “Error 404″. Specification: wordpressmu 2.8.1
The plugin wasn’t tested with WordPress MU yet. Today (even before your comment) I installed WordPress MU (for the first time) and a little fix made the plugin work
. I just released version 1.2 of the plugin with this fix. Any feedback, positive or negative, would be appreciated.
wow, now your plugins works fine to WordpressMU. Thanks ALOT
Hi,
Sorry, but your plugin doesn’t work. When I actived it I got this message :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /homez.42/juriblog/www/wp-content/plugins/one-time-password/otp.php on line 48
My wordpress release is the 2.8.2 one.(php 4)
If you can do smth for me…
Thanks for reporting this problem.
It appears that the used PHP One-Time Passwords class is not compatible with PHP 4. I updated the plugin to check for the PHP version and added a warning to the description of the plugin (version 1.1).
I am sorry that I cannot solve this problem for you
Hi again,
Now your plugin (release 1.2) is OK for me. I rewrited my .htaccess file to use PHP 5.0.10 instead of 4.4.9 – Thanks for your work.
Now I’m going to learn how to use it.

the plugi nsounds great, gonna give it a try right now. but I am not 100% how it works. will I have to rememebr all those 1time passwords on the lsit and just use one whenever I need one?
The intention is to print the generate password list (look for the print button below the displayed list) and to use the password with the sequence shown in the login screen. See also the usage instructions in Other Notes.
thx. I totally missed out the other notes section. all clear now
I have improved the description of the plugin now.
