How do I password protect folders?

You are able to password protect folders on your account using the Directory Password tool in the cPanel.

Note: Do not follow the steps below if you are using FrontPage extensions on your site. Doing so will break your extensions and will keep you from publishing from Frontpage. If you are creating your content in FrontPage, we recommend you use FrontPage to password protect folders.

8. Click Go Back
9. Create a username and password
10. Click Add/Modify Authorized User

Once you click Go Back, you should see your user under the list of users. Repeat the last step for any extra usernames you would like to add.

Also, any information or links under the folder you password protect will ask you for the password again.
