Password Protection

What is Link Password Protection?

Link password protection is a feature that allows you to secure your links by requiring a password for access. This is particularly useful for sharing sensitive content or limiting access to specific users. By implementing password protection, you can control who sees your content, enhancing security and privacy.

How to Implement Bitsy Link Password Protection

​

Step 1: Set Up Your Parameters

When configuring password protection, you need to define specific parameters. The key parameters include:

• has_password: Boolean indicating if password protection is enabled.

• password: The password required to access the link.

• password_logo: URL of the logo to display on the password prompt. (optional)

​

Step 2: Define Your Password Protection Logic

Here’s a simple structure for your password protection configuration:

1. Set has_password to true to indicate that password protection is active.

2. Specify the password that users must enter to access the link.

3. Provide a URL for the password_logo if you want to display a custom logo on the password prompt. (optional)

​

Example Password Protection Configuration

Here’s a sample of how you might structure your password protection configuration:

{
  "has_password": true,
  "password": "securePassword123",
  "password_logo": "https://example.com/logo.png"
}

​

Explanation of the Example

• has_password: Indicates that password protection is being utilized.
• password: The password required for accessing the link.
• password_logo: URL of the logo displayed on the password prompt.

​

Step 3: Testing Your Setup

Before going live, it’s essential to test your password-protected links:

1. Click on your protected links and ensure the password prompt appears.

2. Verify that the correct password grants access, while an incorrect password prevents access.
