Password page

While a store is password-protected (Storefront › Preferences), every page shows the password page: templates/password.json, drawn in layout/password.liquid when the theme has one.

sections/main-password.liquid

<div class="password">
  <h1>{{ shop.name }}</h1>
  {%- if shop.password_message != blank -%}<p>{{ shop.password_message }}</p>{%- endif -%}
  {%- form 'storefront_password' -%}
    {%- if form_error -%}<p class="form-error" role="alert">{{ form_error }}</p>{%- endif -%}
    <label for="Password">{{ 'general.password_page.login_form_password_label' | t }}</label>
    <input type="password" id="Password" name="password" autocomplete="current-password" required>
    <button>{{ 'general.password_page.login_form_submit' | t }}</button>
  {%- endform -%}
</div>

• shop.password_message is the merchant’s message.
• The form posts password to /password. A wrong password shows the page again with form_error set.
• A newsletter form works on the password page too: collect emails before launch.

Search engines are asked not to index a store while it’s password-protected.
