I'm creating a customer page that will require a user/password in order to access. Is there a simple method?

Thanks.

    Alternatively, you could use your hosting plan's Plesk or c-Panel to create a password protected folder on your server.  Ask your hosting provider for details.

    This is a very simple one page app with PHP script to hide content until the user enters a correct ID & password.  Save as protect.php and upload to a server that supports PHP code.

     

     

    <!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Password Protected Content</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<!--minimal demo styles-->

font-size: 1.5rem;
width:80%;
margin:0 auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<?php
// Define your username and password here
$username = "admin";
$password = "pass123";

if (isset($_POST['txtUsername']) != $username || $_POST['txtPassword'] != $password) {
?>
