On Pro sites, password protected pages allows you to restrict access to individual published pages. Only those with whom you share a password will be able to see the protected pages.


How to password protect a page of your site:

  • Check your "Site Settings" to activate password protection.
  • You will then see a shield icon at the top right of each page. (see illustration)
  • Click on the shield icon and you will see that the page already has a username. All you have to do is to set a password.
  • Share this password with anyone to whom you want to give access to the page.
Note: the username always starts with "page-..."
