I want this as well and am considering another provider in the next week as a result.

Thanks!

Hi Adam, while that is an option - it's more heavyweight/logistical hassle thandesired.  

I asked on this in another Community thead a while ago and gave a good use case on 'just a password' vs 'membership' here: Suggestion: Visibility Page-level passwords option

When you just want/need a simple 'gateway filter" - Forcing web managers and web users to create and manage yet ANOTHER online account can be a bridge to far. 

I can understand what you mean, @leturner. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi guys, 

I developed a simple-to-use password login piece of embedded code a while back.

It might help. 

www.password login.weebly.com.

The code is downloadable on the site...

Very cool.  Where would I put that code in Weebly?

Hello Jacek! Just to clarify, were you looking into passwords on a free site in particular?

Hi all,

I finally finished developing a nice HTML/Javascript workaround for password protecting individual pages on Weebly.

The code displays a login screen and calls different web pages based on the password you enter. The values are hardcoded into the code, so they are easy to find and change. I've stuck it up on the sample website; http://www.passwordlogin.weebly.com. The code in on the website too (bottom-left).

Try it out; password "laura" takes you to McDonalds, and password "molly" takes you to Burger King. To change it, simply download the code and change the password/website values. The code is in a .txt file, so open it in Notepad. When you're finished changing it, place the code in an Embed Code element and your done. No need to place anything in the SEO Settings/Header code section. 

The code is currently designed to go to two different websites based on two different passwords, but can be easily changed to accept more or less passwords/websites.

How to use: 

  1. Create a Weebly web page called, e.g. "pwlogin".

  2. Place the an Embed Code element on the page.

  3. Copy the text into the Embed Code.

  4. Done.

  5. You can place a text element above if required.

Hope this helps...

That's an awesome tool you've created! It looks like it will be quite useful for some of our Community members.

Thanks guys.

Thanks for the password suggestion @MikeMaycock. This is a great workaround for my intended use. One question: Could you assist me in revising the code to contain three options instead of two? Your time and knowledge are appreciated.

Hi NostalgicSoul,

I've modified the password login code to allow for infinite password entries. Simply download the code from the website and open it in notepad.

Note 1: The code now checks a list of valid passwords. If a valid password is entered, the associated website is opened. If an invalid password is entered, an error message is displayed.

Note 2: Search the code for laura, molly, katie or chris and you should be able to follow the code.

Note 3: If you want to set up more password/sites links, simply add a valid password to the list and then copy/paste/edit an existing website call.

Hope this helps.

Yours, 

Mike

You are awesome @MikeMaycock. Greatly appreciate your taking the time to work this out. It is perfect for what I am doing. One last thing; if you can't do it, no problem. Is there a way to have the target website open in the same window as opposed to opening a new one? This is more out of preference than necessity, so it is no big deal. Thanks!

Perfect! I noticed you added '_self' to the line specifying which website to open. I am new to writing HTML and learning new stuff everyday. Thanks for your assistance!
