I’m interested in the feature ‘limit access by password’. Does anyone have any experience with that who wouldn’t mind describing how it works (can’t find anything in the help resources). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/8/483349bf4831d57fd29733eb5d6ee923b7285549.png) What I’m hoping/expecting: - At the very first login screen, instead of entering an email address and waiting for a PIN, the app simply asks for a password. If the user enters the correct password access is granted. Otherwise not. Q. How do you define the password? Does Glide automatically insert a new column in the Users tab for a text password?! Q. Can I define the password? (I assume it’s 1 password for all users). Q. Is this feature available for Basic App subscriptions? (it’s seems blocked for Free apps). Best regards, Simon. ---

Hi. It works pretty much as you describe. There’s one password. You define it within the GDE once that option is selected (it’s not in a Sheet anywhere). That password is then required for all access to the app. ---

Great thanks for the confirmation. And is it available with Basic subscription apps? ---

Also, with the password option, you lose all concept of users. No user profiles and no logic checking if an email is the signed in user. It’s like a user using a public app with no sign in, but with a password to get in the front door. ---

Did this option go away? I’m looking to have an app that is protected by a password. I remember this was how I built apps in the past, but now I can’t seem to do it anymore? ---

Yes, I don’t believe it’s an option anymore.
