Password Protect Any Webpage

Bravenet provides a free (add supported) service. I have belonged to Bravenet for many years. After you register for the service you have access to the Password Protect Account Manager, shown below.

You create an account for each page you wish to protect. Each such page has its own username and password – I suspect you could use the same username and password for two or more pages if desired.

The Get Code button gives you to code that you need to put in the pages you want to protect. There are two packages of code. The one you paste into your website entry page (or other desired location) to provide this:

When a visitor requests a password, e gets this:

And when e submits the request you get an email like this:

Bravenet Password Protect Password Request


You have received a request for a Password Protect account to be set up!
The request was received for your account: wuenschk

Name: / Dickwad
Email: /
Username: / mojo
Notes:
What you got hidden in there?

If you wish to grant this request, you can login to the Members Area here:
http://www.bravenet.com
From the Members Area, click on the Password Protect link to get into your Password Protect Service Manager.

From there, click the Manage User Accounts link, and then fill out the Add New User Account form on that page. When you are finished, you should send them an email to let them know that the account has been created.

It should not be necessary for you to use this first chunk of code – only if you want to allow visitors to login this way and/or request a userid/password this way.

The second chunk of code is pasted into the header of each webpage you wish to protect. When somebody arrives at your protected page (without going through the login above), Bravenet throws up this:

If an invalid username/password is entered, this is the response:

If the correct userid and password are provided, the visitor goes on to the protected page, which will have ads at the bottom. You can pay to make the ads go away, but I too cheap to do that.
