You may have a membership site or just simply private media that only a hand-selected visitors can retrieve. No matter your reason for creating a password protect page, WordPress has made it simple & easy to do.

In matter of minutes, your can password protect a page or a post by watching a WordPress Quick Tip Video

As you can see from watching the WordPress Quick Tip Video it does not take much to protect your content from the world. As mentioned in the WordPress Quick Tip Video, it is really not recommended that you use the low security to protect highly sensitive information. WordPress does offer password protection but it really is not the 128-bit protection you need for high end content.

This simple feature is great for creating private content or membership based content.

Private Content

Let’s say that you have marketing PDF’s, training videos and special pricing that you only want your employees to see, its not for competitors or even your customers. Simply add all the media to a page that you like, then password protect the page. Then you can share the link and password with only specific employees that need to gain access to the content. This way you only need to update one place and you can change the password at any time.

Members Only Content

Another reason why to password protect your content is if your hosting paid content. There are many membership WordPress Plugins you could install. But you could make it really simple by having your visitors pay you directly and then you provide them with a password.

As you can see there is a couple of different uses for password protecting your content from the public. The uses for this features really are endless and thanks to WordPress for making it simple.
