---## Help, I'm losing money!

There's nothing worse than spending tons of time creating content for your membership site, only to see people share their logins and straight rob you. That's the story I got in an email two weeks ago (before my move started). I'm finally circling back to it today. And there's good news!

Here's how it normally works. One person buys a membership. They then pass their logins to others. Everyone then logs in, and since the credentials are valid, they're all let in. Not exactly what you were hoping for, right?

## Protecting your WordPress Membership site

Building a membership site on WordPress is easier than not using WordPress, but that doesn't make it super easy. Issues like this - checking for duplicate logged-in users - can be frustrating and take some time to code.

After all, most plugins don't offer that as a baseline feature.

But what if there was a way to do it that was clean and simple? I noticed this feature on [Shutterstock](https://www.shutterstock.com/), where I buy my images. If I log in, they let me, but they sign me out elsewhere. Then, if I log in from another computer, they let me, but they log out the other account.

That's exactly the behavior I wanted. And when two of my WordPress friends were talking about writing a plugin in this realm, I was thrilled. I even got to participate in a few tweet sessions over the feature-set.

## Andrew Norcross & Jason Coleman

The other day I mentioned that if you wanted to get help building a plugin, two of my favorite developers were [Andrew Norcross](https://reaktiv.co/) and [Jason Coleman](https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/). Well, guess what? They decided to collaborate - to solve this very problem.

The plugin is called [**WP Bouncer**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-bouncer/). And it does one thing - protects you from having multiple people logged in using the same credentials.

And guess what? It's free. Yes - you can download [**WP Bouncer**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-bouncer/) right now and add it to your site right away. All you need to do is get it from the plugin repository.

So what are you waiting for?
