About Password Protection
Password protection secures your static sites with SHA256-hashed passwords. The system never stores passwords in plaintext—only the secure hash.
Next Steps
After generating your hash:
-
Add to your
.pagesfile:enabled: true password: YOUR_GENERATED_HASH_HERE -
Commit and push:
git add .pages git commit -m "Add password protection" git push -
Wait for cache expiry (up to 60 seconds) or clear manually
-
Test access by visiting your pages URL
