Enabling Website Authentication for MemberPress App

Website Authentication keeps your staging or development site private by requiring a password to view it. This ensures your site stays hidden while allowing the MemberPress app to access API data for testing. This guide walks you through enabling password protection, verifying the login prompt, and updating the password and notice settings.

Understanding Website Authentication Feature

Website Authentication feature requirements define configurations for protecting staging or development sites from public access while maintaining app connectivity.

Password protection enablement restricts website access to authorized users through an authentication requirement. Protection ensures development work remains private until public launch readiness.

API access preservation maintains app connectivity despite authentication requirements, enabling testing and development. App functionality continues while the website remains protected from public viewing.

Custom notice configuration displays an informative message to the authentication prompt visitors, explaining access requirements. Notice customization improves visitor understanding of the authentication purpose.

Password management flexibility allows administrators to update credentials, maintaining security during development phases. Password changes take effect immediately, protecting against unauthorized access.

Incognito verification enables authentication testing without browser cache interference, confirming protection functionality. Verification ensures the password prompt displays correctly for unauthenticated visitors.
