Netlify has introduced the ability to password-protect all site contexts on Pro plans and beyond, allowing customers to restrict visitor access on non-production site deploys with a simple password. This feature provides more options for password-protecting branch deploys and Deploy Previews, including validating releases with private deploys, protecting staging branches, and securing work-in-progress Pull Requests. With this new option, users can share upcoming releases with their team before the rest of the world has access to them, while keeping sensitive information private. Additionally, Netlify is planning to introduce more site protection options in the future.
