Password-protecting individual pages prevents public access, requiring visitors to enter a password for viewing. A lock icon appears next to protected pages in the pages panel.

Key points about page passwords:

• Must be 30 characters or less
• Case-sensitive
• Same password for all visitors
• Don't use your account password
• Session expires after 4 hours
• Contributors with viewer permissions need the password

Setting a page password:

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

For better security, move protected pages to the "Not linked" section to hide them from navigation menus.

Visitors will see a lock screen when accessing protected pages:

Collection pages:

• Password protection applies to all items in the collection
• Individual items can't have separate passwords
• Items remain visible in summary/archive blocks but require password for full access

Index pages can be password-protected at the main index level:

Search engine considerations:

• Set passwords before adding content to prevent indexing
• Existing pages may remain in search results temporarily
• Protected pages will eventually stop appearing in searches
• Collection page protection prevents indexing of individual items

Troubleshooting tips:

• Check for site-wide passwords if issues persist after removal
• Disable password managers when editing
• Use plain text when pasting passwords
• Type passwords manually to avoid formatting issues
