Password protection allows you to restrict access to your published designs.

## How It Works

When password protection is enabled, anyone visiting your published design will see a password prompt. They will need to enter the correct password to view the site. This is useful for:

- Sharing work-in-progress designs with specific clients
- Restricting access to internal prototypes
- Protecting sensitive content before a public launch

## How to Enable Password Protection

1. Open the Publish panel  
   Click the **Publish** button at the top of the editor, then click on the **Privacy** section.

2. Enable password protection  
   Toggle on **Require password for design preview**. A password input field will appear.

3. Set your password  
   Enter your desired password and click **Save**. Your published design is now protected.

## Removing Password Protection

To remove password protection:

1. Open the Publish panel and go to **Privacy**  
2. Toggle off **Require password for design preview**

## Notes

- Password protection applies to the published version of your design
- The password is not visible after it’s been set—you’ll need to set a new one if you forget it
- Password protection works with both [Custom Publish URLs](/content/docs/documentation/publishing/publish-url/index.html) and [Custom Domains](/content/docs/documentation/get-started/custom-domain/index.html)
