My 2 cents -

If we ignore that this does not provide any security and the fact that it is not working anyway, it has the following limitations -

You must edit the .js source file in order to add or change users/passwords. If you choose to disable/ban someone, you must edit the file.

As you add users, the length of this file will grow and it must be sent to the browser with each web page. If you reach 100's of users the size of the file will start to have an impact on the loading time of the web page(s).

It requires javascript to be enabled in order to function at all.

It is an interim step toward a true login/secure system. Don't waste your time trying to get this to work when you can spend the same amount of time getting a server side system working...
