Password-protecting your site
Ask visitors for a password before they see anything — great before launch.
Updated
Open Make it live → Password protection.
- Type a password (at least 4 characters; letters, numbers and ordinary punctuation; no colon). Optionally set a user name.
- Click Set password.
Visitors are then asked for the password by their browser before they see any page. If the site isn't live yet, the password is saved and applies when you make it live to the Internet.
To go public, click Remove password.
Good to know: apps on the page (booking, forms…) keep working for visitors who've entered the password. Search engines can't see a password-protected site, so remove the password when you're ready to be found.
