post_password_required: Not for post author

[ad_1]

Hi!
Many posts on my page get the default password protection.

When the author of the password protected post wants to see his protected post (not in edit context), he needs to enter the password in the_password_form as well.

This can be really annoying when having many password protected posts and I do not see a reason why the password protection shall apply to the author anyway (it even applies to the admin).
How is it possible to prevent it so the authors can access their password protected posts directly?
(extending the cookie duration seems not optimal imo)

Many thanks!
