Summary: This guide walks you through setting up password protection for specific pages within Sites, detailing how to create or edit a password to restrict access, while also noting that this feature does not prevent search engines from indexing the content.
Before You Begin
- You must have the necessary permissions to access and modify Sites Pages.
- Do not use this feature for highly sensitive information, as search engines may still index the content.
- Decide on a case-sensitive password for the page.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Click on Sites from your main navigation menu.
2. Click Content, then Select Pages.
3. Locate the desired page, Click the more option (...), and Select Edit Page. [Alternatively, Click Add Page to create a new page.]
4. Enter your desired password into the Password Protect section. [Remember, passwords are case-sensitive.]
5. Click the Save Page or Create Page button.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
- Why is the page still accessible after I enter the password? Once a visitor enters the password, a cookie is stored in their browser, which keeps the page unlocked. The page will remain unlocked until the visitor clears their browser cookies.
- How do I change the existing password? Edit the page (Steps 1-3) and Enter the new password into the Password Protect section, then Save Page. Remember to notify users of the change.
