HTML Password Lock 4.8

If you are looking for a software application that will encrypt and password protect your webpages, then you will find what you’re looking for in HTML Password Protect. Sure, there are other similar programs out there, what sets HTML Password Protect apart are the strong algorithms it employs to secure webpages – HTML, ASP and PHP. Once encrypted, the webpage will work anywhere, even without a server.

The only way someone can access the encrypted and password protected webpage is if that person knows the password. You are the only one who knows the password – there is little chance for someone to uncover what that password is. You see, to ensure something like this does not happen, HTML Password Protect does not store the password in the encrypted page.

HTML Password Protect provides three types of protection: Page, Session and Cookie. Page protection means your webpages will be encrypted and password protected. To access your protected webpage, one must provide a password first. Session protection is used to protect a whole site with the same password. This protection type works by locally storing a cookie on your computer; the cookie and the secured info it contains is removed once you close the web browser. Cookie protection works in much the same way as Session protection – passwords are stored as cookies on the user’s computer, a whole web page can be protected, passwords are stored by default for 365 days (1 year).

Think of HTML Password Protect as a wrapper that goes over the HTML file you want to protect. The HTML file is encrypted and password protected. Only when the correct password is protected, the HTML file is taken out of its wrapper and revealed to the user. Speaking of which, HTML Password Protect can help you manage more than 1000 users. There are two password protection modes. You can use a single password to protect your HTML file, or you can set up individual passwords for various users.

Installing HTML Password Protect will take but a moment. Once the software is up and running, 5 mouse clicks are all it takes to password protect your web pages.
