Password protect a folder on your website

You can enable password protection for any folder on your website directly from the Loopia Customer Zone (kundzon, account dashboard). The protection is added at folder (catalogue) level, so you can choose exactly which folder requires a password. This guide walks you through the steps.

Open the password protection settings

Log in to the Loopia Customer Zone and click your domain name (for example example.com). Then click Password protection under Additional settings.

Additional settings menu in Loopia Customer Zone

Choose the folder to protect

The section will expand and display the folder structure of the chosen domain. The information is fetched from your FTP account. In our example there is an active WordPress installation, so public_html is shown with its typical subfolders.

Add a username and password

Once you have clicked the folder you want to protect, you can set your own message to display to visitors. In our example we have entered Enter password!. Then enter a username and password and click Save.

If you want more people to be able to log in, click Add additional users to create extra accounts.

Verify the active protection

The protected folder will now appear in the list of active password protections, showing which folder is covered.

Visitors will now be prompted to enter a username and password before they can access the protected folder.
