Creating Password-Protected Sections in Webflow Sites

Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to your dashboard where your projects are listed.

Open the project you want to add password protection to by clicking on it to access the Webflow Designer.

If you haven't yet, create a new page for the content you wish to protect. Do this by clicking on the Pages icon in the left sidebar, selecting the New Page button, and naming the page, such as "Exclusive Content."

To enable password protection, go to the Pages panel and find the page you created. Click the gear icon next to the page name to open the page settings. Then scroll down to the Password Protection section and toggle the Password Protect This Page option. Enter a secure and memorable password for accessing this page.

Provide a customized message for unauthorized access. If someone enters the wrong password, offer an explanation that the page is password protected and invite them to try again.

To direct visitors to this protected page, create a link from other parts of your site. Select the text or button element in your Webflow Designer, click on the link settings in the top right corner, choose Page from the options, and select the password-protected page you set up.

Consider the user experience on your password-protected page. Design an inviting and intuitive layout, possibly including a brief introduction or instructions about the content available after entering the password. Ensure there are clear buttons or text fields for password submission.

Before publishing, preview your changes by clicking the eye icon in the top-left corner of the Webflow Designer. Test the password by entering it and verify that unauthorized users see the correct denial message.

Publish your site once you are satisfied with the setup. Click the Publish button in the top right corner and make sure to publish to both your Webflow.io domain and any custom domains you've set up.

Share the password with users who need access to the protected content. Use an email, private message, or secure portal to distribute the password.

By following these steps, you can effectively create password-protected sections in your Webflow site, maintaining privacy and control over exclusive content. Regularly review your site to ensure all aspects function correctly and meet your security expectations. Happy designing!
