## Beskrivelse

Does one thing: disables the «Application Passwords» feature.

Activate this plugin to completely disable the new Application Passwords functionality(
added in WP version 5.6). To re-enable Application Passwords, simply deactivate 
the plugin.

**Features**

 * Lightweight – only one line of code.
 * Simple to use – activate and done.
 * No settings to worry about.
 * Easy peasy.

**Why is this useful?**

Because not every website is the same. Not every website needs this feature. Also
disabling application passwords helps to limit unnecessary exposure and eliminate
unwanted functionality (i.e., bloat). Whatever the reason, it is your choice. That’s
the beauty of WordPress. So if, for whatever reason, you decide that application
passwords should be disabled, this plugin will do it with a click.

**More infos**

You could do the same with a Filter, but you would never know if your code is still
compatible with the new versions of wordpress. This simple plugin is a «must have»
in every wordpress! Thank you!
