An effective page password restricts access to specific content while keeping other pages public. When enabled, a lock icon appears next to the protected page in the Pages panel.

Key Password Requirements:

• Maximum 30 characters (case-sensitive)
• Don't use your account password
• Same password for all visitors
• Not available for member site pages

How to Set a Page Password:

1. Open Pages panel
2. Select the page to protect
3. Click settings icon
4. Enter password under "Password" field
5. Click Save
6. Optional: Move to "No Link" section to hide from navigation

Important Notes:

• Password sessions expire after 4 hours
• Viewers need password even with viewing permissions
• Password protect new pages before adding content to prevent search indexing
• Protected collection pages also protect individual items within
• Cannot set individual passwords for collection items

Security Considerations:

• Password protected pages won't be indexed by search engines
• Visitors must enter password before page views are counted
• Password entries display as dots (••••) for security
• Entire site can be password protected separately

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Check site-wide password settings if issues persist after removal
• Disable password managers when editing settings
• Type passwords manually instead of copying/pasting
• Use private browsing to test password functionality

Password protection effectively controls access while maintaining site security. Test thoroughly in private browsing mode to ensure proper functionality.
