Keep it private until you are ready
Some websites should be online without being public. Switch on password protection and visitors see a simple, quiet prompt before anything else — useful for a client review, a soft launch, or a page meant only for the people you send the link to.
One switch, whole site
Protection covers every page, including anything added later. There is no page you can forget to cover.
Any password you like
No length rules, no required symbols. Pick something you can say over the phone to a client.
Changing it locks people out
Change the password and everyone previously let in has to enter the new one. Access ends when you decide it does.
How to turn it on
- 1
Open Publish on your project and expand More settings.
- 2
Switch on password protection and set the password.
- 3
Publish. Visitors now get the prompt, and the link works for anyone you give the password to.
The middle ground between private and public
A website is usually treated as either unpublished or open to the world. Real work does not fit that: you want to send a client a real link on a real domain, without it turning up in search results or being shared beyond the people you meant.
Password protection is that middle ground. The site is genuinely live — real address, real certificate, works on a phone — but the door is closed to anyone without the word. When the launch comes, switch it off and the same site is public, with nothing to migrate.
The prompt itself is deliberately plain: your business name, a single field, and a small line saying the site runs on relivo. It should look like a locked door, not like a broken page.
The password is never stored
We keep a one-way cryptographic derivation of it, not the password itself. Nobody at relivo can read it back — not even us.
Entered once per visitor
Someone who has been let in stays in while they browse, rather than being asked again on every page.
Off is instant too
Turn it off and the next visitor goes straight to the site. There is nothing to rebuild.
