Secure Password Protection for Your Members-Only Areas.
There are a ton of reasons to create members-only areas of your Website. It puts you in control — control over who sees your family photos, who gets to see the special products and discounts in your online store, and the list goes on and on.
When you password protect your Website with Website Access Manager, you’ve got some serious muscle on your side. Want your visitors to have to sign in to see your whole Website, from the front page all the way down? We’ve got you covered. Same goes for specific areas of your site, or even individual Webpages and files like images or .mp3s. Website Access Manager is a full-featured .htaccess generator — a high-tech solution that protects your Website and keeps unwanted visitors out.
As Many Users as You Need.
With Website Access Manager, you can have an unlimited number of users. Yeah, we said unlimited. If you’re password protecting a family photo album, you can create user profiles for everyone in your family, from all your little cousins to your crazy aunt Mildred. If you want people to sign in to access your demo .mp3s, you can create enough usernames and passwords for your friends, your manager, and your throngs of adoring fans.
Better yet, user profiles can contain as much or as little information as you need. There are the basics — a username and password — plus detailed information, like a phone number, Website, e-mail address, time zone, preferred language, and pretty much anything else you might need to know. This information is stored securely on your computer and makes keeping track of your user base a whole lot easier.
Buh-Bye, Ugly Error Pages.
We’ve all seen more than our fair share of ugly error pages. You know the kind — plain text with a pixelated graphic or two that says nothing about how the user got there and doesn’t give them a way out. Does it keep you up at night knowing your users might see a page like that while visiting your Website? Well, you can rest easy knowing that Website Access Manager lets you redirect 404 errors and other bad requests to a custom error page you’ve designed in a program like Visual Site Designer or the HTML Editor. Complete control over all aspects of your Website — not too shabby.
Keep in Touch: Website Access Manager comes with a nifty function that lets you send e-mail to your users right from inside the program. It also comes with predefined e-mail templates that make it easy to send out e-mails with lost logins, expired account warnings, and new passwords.
Block Users by IP Address or Domain: Spammers and bad bots flooding your Website? No worries — Website Access Manager lets you block users by IP address or domain name. This protection is airtight, meaning spammers and hackers will be out of your hair.
Intuitive Interface: The Website Access Manager workspace is intuitive and easy to understand, which means you can enable password protection quickly and easily. But behind the scenes, this powerful .htaccess generator is working hard to protect your Website.
Import Existing Information: If you’re already working with CoffeeCup Password Wizard or a .csv file, Website Access Manager can import your existing user profiles. This time-saving option makes it easy for you to password protect your Website quickly and with no muss or fuss.
Built-in Compatibility Check: Website Access Manager is powered by .htaccess files, which work only with Apache and Apache-compatible servers. Not sure what kind of server you have? The program comes with a handy tool that checks your server to make sure it's compatible.
Back up Your Work: You never know when you might need a backup of your work — especially something as important as your user profiles and password protection settings. With the built-in backup tool, you’ll be able to keep your work safe with a click of your mouse.
