Here’s announcing another update to Zoho Sites; Password-Protected Pages. You can now restrict access to pages on your website using passwords. This lets you share relevant content alone, with a closed group of people.
Password Protection:
There are two types of passwords to use based on the instance:
- Site Password
- Page Password
Site Password is ideal when you want to share multiple pages with a group of people. One password for all the pages, so you share only one password with everyone.
On the other hand, Page Password lets you set separate passwords for each page. With each page having its own password, there is no possibility of accessing such pages with one common password. Read our help section on how to protect your webpages.
Linking External Pages:
Another feature that accompanies password protection, is linking your pages to external links. You can now link your pages to any other external websites. Particularly, if you own multiple websites, you could link to each of them from every other website.
Both these features have been repeatedly asked for, so we are eagerly looking forward to hearing your comments on them.
Good to see each individual page can be given its own password. It would be wonderful if you can add an option to lock the entire site with one click. Imagine a site with 100 pages. If the site needs to be locked for maintenance, each page need to be locked individually. A site wide lock (and possibly a 503 page) for maintenance purposes would be great.
