How can I use password-protected directories?

Your Password Manager gives you the ability to control who can view your site or various areas within your site. You can use this tool to create user accounts that can then be assigned access privileges on your site.

You might use the Password Manager if, for instance, you want to create a special area of your site for your family. This area might contain family photos or other information that you want only your family to see. You can use Password Manager to create one or more user accounts for your family (each account includes a user name and password). After you create these accounts, place your photos and web pages in a single folder, or subdirectory, of your site and use File Manager to password-protect the folder, limiting access to only the user accounts you created for your family. Alternately, you might create a subdomain (such as family.yourdomain.com) of your site and limit access to only those with the password you assign.
