Wix Editor: Password Protecting Your Site
Updated: 7 days ago
Control who can access to your site with password protection. This allows you to get feedback on your site before the design stage is complete, or display sensitive content in confidence.
After adding the new password, visitors who enter your site will see a screen where they will be asked to enter the password.
Important:
This feature is not currently available to all users.
If you choose to password protect a site, this also prevents search engines from crawling and indexing that site. This means that password protected sites do not appear in search results.
Adding password protection to your site
Limit access to your site by adding password protection. This ensures that only authorized users can access your exclusive content.
To password protect your site:
Click Settings at the top of the editor.
Click Site Password.
Select an option:
Everyone: Everyone can view your site. This means that your site is public and there are no additional restrictions.
Password Holders: Only people who have the password can view your site. Enter your chosen password.
Click Save.
Notes:
Passwords can be up to 15 characters.
You can only see the password window on your live site. It does not appear when previewing your site.
