This plugin is a simple one, but good at what it does. It changes three elements of protected posts to make them more friendly to visitors.

Prefixes:

customize prefix for password-protected posts from default “Protected: “
customize prefix for private posts from “Private: “

Custom Previews:

ability to use the post’s excerpt (if one is saved) when no password is given
ability to show custom text for all password-protected posts
if no saved excerpt, show the default OR use custom site-wide text

Password Form:

change text before the password input box
change text of submit button
add custom CSS; set class or ID for theme integration

Change Log

0.6 – corrected for WordPress 2.7, which handles protected and private posts differently.
0.5 – initial public release
