Guest authentication vs password protection
Password protection:
- One shared password for all visitors
- Simple to set up and share
- Anyone with the password can access
Guest authentication:
- Guests log in with their name or email
- You control exactly who can access
- Guests must be on your guest list to view the site
Making specific pages private
You can make individual pages private while leaving others public:
Go to Website > Builder
Click on the page tab you want to make private
Click Page settings (gear icon)
Click Make private
Optionally, configure which guests can see the page based on event invitations
Click Save
