Put a password on a page

A password page is useful for something only certain people should see: a wholesale price list, a catering menu for one client, a page of files for your staff. Visitors type the password to open the page.

Before you start

• It's one password for one page. Everyone who knows it gets in. It is not a login for each person. For that, see Set up members-only pages.
• Pick a password you don't use anywhere else. Share it only with the people who need it.
• Don't put private customer details behind a shared password.

Steps

1. Log in to your site editor.
2. In the side panel, click Pages.
3. Find the page, then click its three-dot icon.
4. Click Set Access.
5. Click Password Protected, then type the password. It can be up to 100 characters long and use any characters.
6. Click Save.
7. Publish. If you don't see a Publish button, tell us and we'll publish it for you.

To take the password off, open Set Access again and click Open to Everyone.

Good to know

• A page that is attached to another page as an anchor can't have a password. Neither can a dynamic page, one that shows different items on the same layout.
• If you change the password, people who already got in stay in until they clear their browser's saved data. That's also how someone logs out of the page.
• Test it in a private browser window, so you see what a visitor sees.
• Your site login is separate. See Keep your logins safe.
