Password protection
Protect your documentation site with a shared password for simple access control.
Team and Enterprise feature
This feature is available only for the Team and Enterprise plans. To get started, reach out to support@buildwithfern.com.
Password protection allows you to restrict access to your documentation site using a shared password. This is useful for pre-release documentation, internal resources, or any content you want to keep private without requiring individual user accounts.
Set up and manage password protection in the Fern Dashboard.
How it works
When password protection is enabled, visitors to your documentation site are prompted to enter a password before they can view any content. Once authenticated, users can browse the site until their session expires.
When password protection is active, search engines won’t index your site.
