Password-protect a preview

Every new preview is password-protected by default. Here is how to set or change the password, and how to turn protection on or off for a preview.

It is on by default

New previews are password-protected automatically, so client work is private from the moment you upload it. You do not have to switch anything on first.

Set or change the password

  1. Open the preview's settings.
  2. Find the password field.
  3. Type your own memorable password, or reveal the one SiteViewer generated for you.
  4. Save.

Turning it on or off

  • A single toggle per preview. One switch controls password protection for that preview.
  • Keep it on for anything client-confidential. While protection is on, the preview asks for the password before anyone can view it.
  • Turning it off makes the preview public. A public preview has no password, so anyone with the link can open it.
Tip

On Pro and Studio you can white-label the password screen with your own logo, so even the gate looks like yours.
