Cito sites can be password-protected. This is managed via the site’s Settings page, under ‘Security’. We use HTTP Basic Auth for password protection. It is possible to have multiple users with access to a single website.
What about subfolders?Currently password protection can only be enabled for an entire website.

Enabling Password Protection

To enable password protection, click the toggle next to ‘Password Protection status’. You can disable access to a site entirely if you wish, by enabling password protection without any users. Password Protection Note that ‘Name’ is purely descriptive- this is an optional field that appears in some browser’s prompts.

IP Bypass

You can also allow specific IP addresses to bypass password protection, by adding them to the ‘IP bypass’ list.

Managing Users

You can add and remove users in the ‘User Management’ section of the password protection page. This page lists existing users. To add a new user, simply enter the details into the fields and click ‘Add’. Password Protection Users Note that passwords are encrypted and not visible once a user has been created. To change a password, delete and re-create the user.
