Hello,

I am new on this forum, just found it by google ? seem to be nice place.

I have a small issu and i was not able to find a solution for it. I would like to password protect some page of my website but i would like to put a time for password to work for exemple after 24h the password is no more valid. also an admin page where i can generate a password to send to a person i would liek to give access. Is there any easy way to do this ?

Thanks for your help
