## What is Shopify Password page?

You can restrict visitor access to your online store by adding a password. Your password page is the landing page where you allow customers to enter your store with the password that you provide.

{% hint style="info" %}
When your password page is active, search engines find and display only the password page of your online store. Other pages, such as product pages, are hidden and aren't displayed in search results.
{% endhint %}

## How to create a Password page in Foxify

### Before you start

Before creating a new password page, you need to activate your Shopify storefront password.

{% hint style="success" %}
Steps

1. From your Shopify admin, go to **Online Store** > [**Preferences**](https://admin.shopify.com/online_store/preferences?utm_source=foxecom\&utm_medium=help_center_foxify_create_a_password_page\&utm_campaign=anchor_text\&utm_term=preferences).
2. In the **Store access** section, select **Password protection**.
3. In the **Password** field, enter the password that you want to add to your online store and restrict access with. Don't use the same password that you use to log in to your Shopify admin.
4. Optional: In the **Message to your visitors** field, enter the message that you want to display to visitors on the password page.&#x20;
5. Click **Save**.

## Best practices :white\_check\_mark:

* **Use your brand identity:** Customize the design of your password page in Foxify to match your store’s logo, colors, and typography. A consistent look helps maintain brand trust even while your store is locked.
* **Add social links or contact info:** Consider including links to your social media or a contact form so visitors can stay connected or reach out while your store is under construction.\
