Password-protect a newsletter
How to require a password before anyone can view the web version of your newsletter.
Password protection adds a gate to the public web page of your newsletter. Anyone who opens the link must enter a password before they can read it.
Note: Password protection applies to the web version only. Email recipients see the full newsletter in their inbox regardless of this setting.
When to use it
- Staff meeting notes or internal school updates
- Sensitive information intended for a specific group
- Confidential announcements (budget discussions, HR matters)
How to enable it
- Open the newsletter in the editor.
- Click the Settings icon or menu in the top bar.
- Enable Password protection.
- Enter a password and click Save.
Sharing the password
Send the password separately from the newsletter link. Include it in the email body or share it through a different channel (a group text, a staff meeting, etc.).
How long access lasts
Once a reader enters the correct password, they can access the newsletter for 7 days without entering it again. After 7 days, they are prompted again.
Removing the password
Go back to newsletter settings and disable password protection. The page becomes publicly accessible immediately.
