I decided to change an album from public to password protected. Entered a password and hint in the configuration and can't seem to get it working. It's exactly the same. Decided to try from a friends house too, just in case it was remembering me as an admin from a cookie or ip or cache or via satalite from Mars... and nothing.
Did I forget to do something? I read the Documentation section and it looks like I followed the two basic steps.
I'm having exactly the same problem. I have an album I want to be viewed by anyone, (not logged in), that I give the password to. I can create a album with a password (Does the password hint field
have to be filled in?) and through the config panel set Albums can be private
YES, Show private album Icon to unlogged user
YES. So I log out, the click on the private album (which has a default 'private' icon). It asks for the password, so I enter it, but then if I close the page and go back it doesn't ask me for a password again. I even deleted the cookie and closed the page and it didn't ask me for the password. I even created a seperate cookie so it works seperately from other areas of my webspace (eg. a phpbb forum). So does this function work on IP logging or something as mentioned in the earlier post? Is it possible to change it so it works on cookies and has a expiry time?
