Sitebuilder Plus: Why is My Page Password Protected When I Didn't Add it? https://community.homestead.com/conversations/sitebuilder-plus/sitebuilder-plus-why-is-my-page-password-protected-when-i-didnt-add-it/5f2a9b3958180958845eb497
HOW TO PASSWORD PROTECT A PAGE https://community.homestead.com/conversations/sitebuilder-plus/sitebuilder-plus-password-protected-pages/5f2a9a82581809588448bad3
No Good - I deleted everything related to Homestead and still get asked for a password. Hoe tech support can fix this after so many years of using Homestead!!!!! And my site comes up without the pages list/links so I can't look at any of the pages. Soooo frustrated.
I experienced the same problem ever since I added a password protected page. I have deleted it from each page and have deduced that the password migrates to whatever page I exit from. Create a dummy page, an unlisted page, and use it for exiting your website editor. This practice will eliminate that problem with your published site.
It took me days to decipher the pattern. It's not random. The password is produced on the page you're editing when you exit your website editor. Create a "dummy" exit page that eliminates the password from interrupting your visitor's experience. Occasionally I'll time out and the page pops up with a password required. Log in, delete the password, and exit using my dummy page. This is a solution.
Homestead has reviewed this problem and has answered:
"The only method that we can see to cause this is by having the password stored in your browser. Once that is removed, then you remove the password from the page and it should not return. If it does, then the password is still stored in the browser. We have spent quite a bit of time looking at this, and for everyone so far it has resolved the issue. We have never found anything that would indicate another cause or something we can fix."

In addition to deleting the saved passwords in your browser, you also have to delete it from the page settings in the editor for that page.
