Password Protection

Password protection allows you to keep your website private and secure. This feature is perfect for client previews, internal documents, or personal projects that you want to keep secure.

When to use password protection

Password protection is useful in several scenarios:

Client work: Share website previews with clients before going public
Internal documents: Keep company resources accessible only to team members
Personal projects: Protect family photos, private portfolios, or personal content
Work in progress: Hide unfinished websites while you're still working on them

Setting up password protection

Once your website is live on Creatpad, you can easily add password protection by following these steps:

Step 1: Access your site settings

Log in to your Creatpad dashboard
Find your website in the list of sites
Click on "Manage" next to your site name
Navigate to the "Password" section in the sidebar

Step 2: Set up password protection

In the Password section, you'll see a toggle for "Enable Password Protection"
Enter a secure password that you want visitors to use
Check the "Enable Password Protection" checkbox
Click "Save Settings"

Important

Once you enable password protection, all visitors to your website will need to enter the password before they can view your content. Make sure to share the password with people who need access to your site.

Step 3: Test your protected site After enabling password protection:

Visit your website URL in a new browser window
You should see a password prompt before accessing your content
Enter the password you set to verify it's working correctly

Managing your password

Changing your password You can change your password at any time:

Go back to the Password section in your site settings
Enter a new password in the password field
Click "Save Settings"

The new password will take effect immediately.

Disabling password protection To make your site public again:
