Restriction by password
There may come the day in a Moodle admin's life when a teacher requests to protect his course resources from unauthorized access even beyond the mechanisms which Moodle already provides and when this teacher comes up with the idea of adding a "password protection" to uploaded resources. If you had a discussion like this, this plugin is for you.
Please see README file for details about the usage and features of this plugin.

Nicely written plugin, works as expected, nice documentation (you might want to fix the typo "Due to limited ressources").
We definitely want this in plugins DB asap!
Thanks Tomek for the peer-review. I am happy to approve the plugin now. Welcome to the Plugins directory!
I use it to limit students access to a chat room.
I have noticed though that the plugin does not appear on whole sections (the options for restricting by password is missing in editsection) while other restriction plugins (for ex by ip) appear everywhere.
Can this be added?

Lazaros
Also please contact me because I want to use your plugin

thank you very much for this wonderful plugin for gamification. The participants have to guess a password or build it from various clues to see more course topics, activities, and resources. Is there any idea to make it work in the mobile Moodle app? The Moodle app is able to store all course content temporarily on the mobile device so participants can "play" the course without internet and without mobile data connection.

is there any idea to read the password with a qr code or bar code? For some user groups as smaller kids the password could be easier to use with a qr code. Also for gamification it could be a nice add-on to scan the qr code instead of typing a password. Yes, for this idea the plugin should work with the mobile Moodle app.
Ralf
will there be a version for Moodle 4.1 in the future?
