Protect specific pages of your website with passwords to limit access to certain content while keeping other pages public.

When a page is password-protected:

• A lock icon appears next to the page title in the Pages panel
• All visitors use the same password (up to 30 characters, case-sensitive)
• Viewers must enter password before page views are counted
• Session expires after 4 hours

To set a page password:

1. Open Pages panel
2. Select the page to protect
3. Click settings icon
4. Enter password in the Password field
5. Click Save

Important Security Notes:

• Never use your Squarespace account password
• Password protect pages before adding content to prevent search engine indexing
• Collection pages (blogs, events, portfolio, store) protect all individual items
• Cannot set individual passwords for collection items

Troubleshooting Tips:

• If password prompt persists after removal, check homepage password settings
• Disable password managers when editing page passwords
• Enter passwords manually to avoid formatting issues
• For maximum security, move protected pages to Unlinked section

Password protection is not available for:

• Member site pages
• Individual collection items
• Pages requiring different passwords for different users

To test the password protection, open the page in a private browser window and verify the password prompt appears correctly.
