Shopify Password Protection Check
Password protection is essential for Shopify stores in development. Check that it is active to limit access to authorised individuals.
What this test checks
This test checks whether your Shopify store is password protected. Shopify offers a password protection feature for stores in development or maintenance. It allows access only to authorised people (clients, testers, team) and prevents the public from seeing a site under construction. Lack of protection can expose sensitive information or an unfinished site.
Our recommendation
Enable password protection in your Shopify store settings (Preferences > Password protection). Use a complex password and share it only with concerned parties. Disable protection when your store is ready to launch.
