HTML to link converter

Password-protected HTML link

Some pages are for a client, a class or a family group — not for whoever stumbles on the URL. Type a password before converting and visitors see a password screen first; the HTML is only sent after the right password is entered.

Quick answerTo password-protect an HTML page, convert it with the Password field filled in. The server checks the password before sending any of your files, so the content cannot be read by viewing the page source.

Real protection, not a JavaScript trick

Many “password protect HTML” tutorials hide the page with JavaScript — anyone who opens the source code can read the content and the password. Here the check happens on the server: your HTML is not delivered until the visitor submits the right password, and the password itself is stored only as a salted PBKDF2 hash.

How visitors get in

They open the link, type the password once, and a secure cookie remembers them on that device for 30 days — covering every page and asset of a multi-page ZIP site. Share the password through a different channel than the link (for example the link by email, the password by text message).

Change or remove the password

Use Update in My links: type a new password to replace it, or tick “Remove the current password” to make the page public. The address stays the same.

Questions about password-protected html link

Is the password protection free?
Yes, it is included on every plan, including Free.
Can search engines index a password-protected page?
No. Without the password there is nothing but the password form to read.
Can I see who opened the page?
No, there are no visitor logs. If you need analytics, add your own analytics script to the HTML.
What if I forget the password?
Set a new one with Update — we cannot read the old one, because only its hash is stored.
