Protected Pages Extra is a modern reimplementation of the popular Protected Pages module, built with current Drupal best practices. It allows site administrators to password-protect any page on their Drupal site

Features

Protected Pages Extra provides everything the original Protected Pages module offers, plus significant enhancements:
Features matching Protected Pages:

  • Password-protect any page by its URL path
  • Global password
  • Visitors who don't know the password see a password entry form instead of the page content
  • Administrators can manage protected pages from a simple admin interface
  • Supports wildcard paths
  • Set password for private files
  • Bypass password protection via permission
  • Session Expire Time Setting
  • Configurable text for "Enter Password" screen
  • Send email to users to inform about protected page

New features in Protected Pages Extra:

  • Multiple paths per password: assign one password to multiple paths at once, eliminating the need to create separate entries for related pages that share the same password
  • Session-aware authentication: once a visitor enters the correct password for one page, they are not prompted again during the same session for any other page protected by the same password
  • Modern Drupal architecture: built using current Drupal APIs including config entities, HTTP middleware, Drupal plugin API and Symfony's session management for improved reliability and security

Post-Installation

After enabling the module:
Navigate to Administration → Configuration → Content authoring → Protected Pages Extra (/admin/config/content/protected-pages-extra)
Click "Add page protection" to create a new entry
Enter one or more URL paths to protect (e.g. /members, /private/documents)
Set a password for those paths
Save

Additional Requirements

  • Drupal 11.1 or higher
