Here’s an easy and effective way to work around Weebly’s® “One password per site” configuration.
Instead of having separate encoded passwords, you’re going to “share” the common password amongst all of the password protected pages but each protected page will have its own unique encrypted URL that has no relationship to the site’s URL and will not be visible unless the visitor knows the exact URL.
Here are the steps:
Here’s an example:
Page #1 www.Yoursite.com/PasswordProtectedPageNumberOne
Encrypted URL: https://tinyurl.com/y7rlmhw5
Password: AB1234#
Page #2 www.Yoursite.com/PasswordProtectedPageNumbertwo
Encrypted URL: https://tinyurl.com/y9oxh34a
Password: AB1234#
Page #3 www.Yoursite.com/PasswordProtectedPageNumberThree
Encrypted URL: https://tinyurl.com/ya2e5wt7
Password: AB1234#

Here are the steps:
- Establish and activate the password for your Weebly® site. E.G. AB1234#
- Create the pages that you want to password protect
- After you create the page, copy its URL into a URL shortening web service such as https://goo.gl or www.TinyURL.com.
- After you have created the “shortened (encrypted) URL”, make sure you “hide” each page by doing the following to each “hidden’ page:
- Under “SEO Settings” make sure you check “Hidden from search engines”
- Under “Visibility” make sure your check “Password Only”
- Under the page name make sure you check “Hide in Navigation”.
- Now you can give the authorized visitor the encrypted URL along with the password.
- Each page that has been shortened/encrypted will be different.

Page #1 www.Yoursite.com/PasswordProtectedPageNumberOne
