  • Simple, powerful protection

    When we added a second site and needed single sign on, we also wanted to password protect the new site pages, just as we do the original site. Our sites are used by an independent association of mostly nontechnical users, and we needed to keep the sign on easy for them, and private. The behavior is great and worked perfectly the first time on all pages. Highly recommend!!
