A password-protected gallery is a simple way to share images with your clients privately and securely. Only people with the correct password can view the gallery, making it ideal for sharing work that’s meant just for them.

Write your name and use the password: 1234.
What makes password-protected pages different?
Password-protected pages are very similar to regular pages; you can use all the same templates and elements. However, there are a few important differences:
- You can set a unique password for each password-protected page.
- You can easily share the page with clients by sending them the link and password by email.
- Password-protected pages cannot be found in Google Search results.
- They won’t appear in page lists such as Set as startpage, Link to Page, or Duplicate section to page.
- You cannot duplicate sections from password-protected pages to regular pages.
- Password-protected pages are not included in your SEO settings (sitemap.txt) and have no SEO options.
Security and login details
To make the experience smooth and secure for both you and your clients:
- Entering the wrong password will not lock out your client. They can try again until they enter the correct password.
- A small button has been added that lets viewers toggle visibility of the password they type in (only on the password-protected page, not in the admin panel). This helps reduce typing errors.
- If you change the password of a page, any viewers currently logged in will be automatically logged out and prompted to re-enter the new password.
