Password Protection

Protect a page with a login

This free PHP script allows you to protect your web pages with a simple login and password. Instead of linking directly to your main page, visitors must pass through this login script first.

How it works

Edit the password-protect.php script and update:

• $users: your usernames, passwords and emails
• $protect: the page to protect
• $owner and $owneremail: your details
• $url: the login page location

Important: For better security, place login.html and protected.html in a folder outside the public www or public_html directory. If you keep them public, users might bypass the protection by directly visiting protected.html.

Installation

1. Upload the files to your server in ASCII mode.
2. Edit password-protect.php with your login details.
3. Set file permissions (CHMOD) to 755 if needed.
4. Test with your browser.
