Password protecting a site in Scout

If you need to password protect one of your sites (e.g. a staging or development site) that’s hosted on our Scout Control Panel, simply follow these steps:

1. Login to your Scout Control Panel
2. Navigate to Sites and click on the site (or the settings cog) you wish to protect
3. Select the Security tab
4. Under Password protect, enter a username and password
5. Click Enable protection

👉 You can add your IP address to Trusted IPs to bypass the password protection (as well as all other security features in Scout)
