Password-protect a status page
Restrict access to a status page with a single shared password so only people who have it can view your uptime data.
Restrict access to a status page with one shared password. Visitors must provide it before HowlOps returns the page data. This feature requires a Status pages plan that includes private status pages; check the current availability on the pricing page.
Enable password protection
- Go to Status Pages and open the page with Edit.
- Find the Access Control section.
- Enable Password protection.
- Enter a password and click Save.
Password protection is a shared access gate, not an identity system. Anyone with the password can open the page. Use the private access level when visitors should authenticate as workspace members.
How visitors experience it
When a visitor opens the page, HowlOps asks for the password before returning status data. The URL itself does not change.
Password-protected and private pages cannot be embedded. The embed endpoint returns 404 because an embedded widget has no password or member-login flow.
FAQ
Can I change the password? Yes. Update it in Status Page Settings at any time. Existing sessions are invalidated.
Does password protection hide the URL? No. The URL is still reachable; the password gates the content behind it.
Can I set different passwords for different subscribers? No: one password per page. Use separate status pages for different audiences.
