Sitebuilder Plus: Why is My Page Password Protected When I Didn't Add it?
If you have a page that has become password protected and you never added the password, then it is because the password has been saved in your browser and the browser is auto-filling and adding it to the field. When you save the page and publish, the browser has added the password to the page and it goes online. You will need to enter the password manager of the browser and locate the line for "sitebuilder.homestead.com" and remove it from the list.
Chrome
- Go to Settings and scroll down to the bottom and click Advanced.
- Scroll down to the Password section and click on Manage passwords
- Find the Website sitebuilder.homestead.com and remove it.
Firefox
- Open Options and click Security, then Saved Logins. Then search for sitebuilder.homestead.com and remove it.
- Once this is done you may have to go back and remove the password one last time and save and publish the site.
This should prevent this from happening again.

Where is the Advanced button?

Why did this happen?
How long has it been pointing to the wrong page?
Yes I read the post.

somehow my main page became set for a password, I removed the apparent password in the advanced settings of the sitebuilder plus site, saved and published, it keeps reverting to the unwanted password setting. Is there a sequence or time frame I need to be aware of.
any ideas ..

I noticed that when using the Site Builder plus, If I remove the mystery password keeping the password section blank and simply review it and not save or publish the page, it navigates correctly, once I save and publish it, is when it appears to automatically revert back to the unknown password protection.

It does not remove. It keeps coming back. This is a nightmare. Been happening to me for a few years now.
