Locking a publication or website using a password

Protecting Your Content with Passwords in Hail

At Hail, we take the security and privacy of your content very seriously.

Whether it’s Board of Trustees minutes, a staff portal, or anything you’d prefer to keep private, Hail makes it easy to control who sees what.

With just a few clicks, you can protect publications or websites with a password — perfect for sharing with a select group while keeping things secure.

🔒 How to Lock a Hail Publication or Website

You can lock a Hail Publication or Website by clicking the 'Lock with password' button.

1. Go to your Publication or Website edit screen.
2. Scroll down the right-hand sidebar and look for Publication settings or Website settings (near the bottom).
3. Toggle the Lock with password option on.
4. Choose a password and click Save.

This will lock the content, and anyone trying to access it will be required to input the password.

✅ Keep Your Password Safe

The password you choose is fully encrypted and securely stored in our database. For your own reference, we recommend storing it somewhere safe because once you set a password, it can’t be viewed again.
