Password
Share a site or folder with a password. Available on every plan.
Add a password in your site’s settings, choose the whole site or a folder to protect, and share the password with your visitors. Pages, images and downloads in that area all require it.
Choose how long visitors stay signed in: a day, a week, a month or a year. They’ll see a password form when they first visit.
Check the visitor experience
Open the live site in a new tab to try the password form. The preview in your dashboard gives you access without entering a password.
Several passwords
You can add up to ten passwords per site, each for a different area. A folder such as /portfolio can have its own password. Visitors need that folder’s password to open it, even if they already entered the password for the whole site.
Protection also covers alternate page addresses. A password on /portfolio covers /portfolio.html and /portfolio/index.html too.
Manage access
- Change a password to sign out everyone who used the old one. Share the new password with anyone who should keep access.
- A password only works on the site it was set for. If you type the same password for two addresses, they are still two separate passwords: changing or removing one does not affect the other.
- Use the eye beside a saved password to view it. To change it, edit the field and save.
- Passwords set before 9 September 2026 cannot be displayed. Enter a new password to replace one.
Sharing a password
Visitors share a password rather than having individual accounts, so they can pass it on and you cannot identify them separately. Use this for controlling access to a site, rather than storing sensitive data. To pause access for everyone, switch the site offline in settings.
