In this episode, I show you the quickest and easiest way to password-protect a page in WordPress — no plugins, no coding, no complicated settings. If you’re working on client projects, managing private content, or building exclusive experiences, this is one of the most useful features built right into WordPress.

Why password-protect a WordPress page?

There are lots of reasons creators, businesses, and teams use this feature:

• Client work: Deliver drafts, designs, cuts, or documents privately
• Patreon/paid members: Share exclusive pages without exposing them publicly
• Internal team resources: Keep reference material or WIP pages hidden
• Event pages: Limit access to guests or registrants
• Portfolio pieces: Share selective work samples privately
• Early previews: Release beta features or in-progress content to trusted viewers
• Sensitive info: Anything that shouldn’t live openly on the web

Password-protecting a page is one of the simplest ways to control who sees what — and it’s built into WordPress by default.
