## Description

This plugin does one thing and one thing only. It adds the text `<meta name="robots"
content="noindex">` to the header of any password-protected post. Google and all
other respectable search engines will leave your password-protected pages out of
their search results.

## Installation

Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory
of your WordPress installation and then activate the plugin from plugins page.

Still works on 4.9.4. This is a great easy fix to a problem that WordPress should
of fixed years ago!

Such a simple plugin that should be a default feature in Wordpress. Yoast SEO has
this feature in their premium product. Thumbs up Kyle!
