Prerequisites

You must be on the new Pages architecture in order to build secure Pages and sites.

This also cannot use Pages legacy config, but rather must use the new config structure. Refer to this guide to confirm you have the proper setup.

Overview

A password-protected site allows you to secure your site with a single password that anyone with access to will be able to use to gain access to your site. This is the most basic of options and is quite easy to set up. However, you will not be able to know who is accessing your site. And, as a reminder, password-protected sites are not very secure and do not allow for Authorized Search nor visitor level analytics.

This guide is part of the Consumer Auth Initiative to create Private Sites. Please refer to this Consumer Auth Overview guide before getting started to make sure this is the right option for you.
