Password protection secures your website's content, requiring visitors to enter a password before accessing any pages. This feature is ideal for websites under construction or those with restricted access needs.

Key Points:

• All visitors use the same password
• Password sessions expire after 4 hours
• Case sensitivity matters for passwords
• Visitor traffic analytics only record after password entry
• E-commerce checkouts won't work with site-wide passwords
• Not available for Cover Pages subscription sites

Setting Up a Password:

Computer:

1. Open "Website Availability" menu
2. Select "Password Protected"
3. Enter desired password
4. Click Save

Mobile App:

1. Tap More > Settings
2. Tap Website Availability
3. Select Password Protected
4. Enter password
5. Tap Save

Important Considerations:

• Never use your Squarespace account password
• Test in private browser window
• Customize
