Protect a site with a password
Ask visitors for a password before they see the site, or only on its staging host.
A password keeps a site, or only its staging host, closed to everyone who doesn't have it: a site that isn't launched yet, or one for a few people. It works at once, without publishing.
Set a password
- In the site menu, choose Password protection….
- Under What asks for it, choose The whole site (its staging host too) or Only its staging host.
- Type the Password: at least 8 characters.
- Choose Protect the site.
Visitors enter it once on each device. A new password asks everyone again.
Change or remove it
Open Password protection… again: type a New password and choose Save, or choose Remove the password to open the site to everyone.
Good to know
- Only an owner or admin of the workspace can set it.
- It comes with the Pro and Business plans. Removing a password always works, on any plan.
- Nobody sees the password again once it is saved, not even in the editor: to share it, keep it somewhere safe.
