How Do I Add a Password to My Squarespace Website?

As a website owner, it’s important to take security seriously. One way to help protect your site is to add a password.

In this article, we’ll show you how to add a password to your Squarespace website.

There are two ways to add a password to your Squarespace site: through the Site Password feature or by enabling Password Protection on individual pages. Both options are available in the Password area of your site’s Security & Privacy settings.

The Site Password feature allows you to set a single password for your entire site. Visitors will need to enter the password to view any content on your site. To set a site password:

1. Log into your Squarespace account and go to the Security & Privacy panel.
2. Under Password, click Set Password.
3. Enter and confirm your password, then click Set Password.

Enabling Password Protection on individual pages allows you to set unique passwords for specific pages or collections on your site. This is useful if you want to restrict access to certain areas of your site while keeping the rest public. To enable Password Protection on a page or collection:

1. Log into your Squarespace account and go to the Security & Privacy panel.
2. Click the Pages or Collections tab, then click the name of the page or collection you want to protect.
3. Under Password, click Enable Page Password or Enable Collection Password.
4. Enter and confirm your password, then click Enable Page Password or Enable Collection Password.

Conclusion:

Adding a password to your Squarespace website is a simple but important security measure. You can add a password for your entire site using the Site Password feature, or enable password protection for individual pages or collections using the Security & Privacy settings. Either way, adding a password will help keep your website safe from unauthorized access.
