Password protection

Keep a site private behind a password (Pro).

Protect a site so visitors must enter a password before they can see it. Set it from the site's Settings under Access & domains.

How it works

  • Visitors see a simple password page. After entering the right password they can view the site, and stay unlocked on that device for 7 days.
  • Changing the password locks everyone out again, so they need the new one.
  • Wrong guesses are rate limited to slow down guessing.
  • It works on your iSelify address and on a custom domain.

Plans

Turning protection on or changing the password needs an active Pro plan. If your plan ends, existing protection stays on so a private site doesn't suddenly become public; you can still remove the password at any time.

Password protection covers the site's page. Files you've uploaded in Media have public links, and the site's form address accepts submissions; neither is hidden by the password.
