# Set up the password page in Facet

> Learn what Facet's password page shows while your store is locked, where its logo and message come from, and how to turn password protection on or off.

While your store is password protected, every visitor lands on the password page. Facet shows a simple card with your logo, a short title, your message and a password field. The page has no header or footer and no settings of its own: its content comes from your theme logo and your Shopify admin. This page explains where each part comes from and how to turn the lock on or off.

## What the page shows

* **Your logo**, from the theme's logo setting. Without a logo, the page shows your store name in text.
* **The title** "This shop is private".
* **Your message**, the text you write in your Shopify admin. Without one, the line is left out.
* **A password field** with an **Enter** button. A wrong password shows an error above the field.

## Getting started

**1. Turn on password protection**

In your Shopify admin, open **Online Store**, then **Preferences**. Under **Password protection**, turn on **Restrict access to visitors with the password**, set a password and click **Save**.

**2. Write your message**

On the same screen, fill in **Message for your visitors**, for example a launch date. Click **Save**.

**3. Check the logo**

In the Theme Customizer, open **Theme settings**, then **Logo**, and pick the logo the password page should show.

**4. Preview the page**

In the page selector at the top of the Customizer, choose **Password** to see the page as visitors will.

To open your store to everyone, go back to **Online Store**, then **Preferences**, turn off **Restrict access to visitors with the password** and click **Save**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Stores on a free trial can't remove the password until they pick a paid plan.

## Best practices

* **Tell visitors when you open.** A date or a season in the message answers the first question they have.
* **Upload a logo.** The logo makes a locked store look intentional rather than unfinished.
* **Share the password with testers only.** Anyone with the password sees the full store, including prices.
