Password protect your entire craft website with a single password. A fast and easy way to lock down access to your website, without worrying about Apache or Nginx configuration.

To install KnockKnock, follow these steps:

1. Download & unzip the file and place the knockknock directory into your craft/plugins directory
2. -OR- do a git clone https://github.com/dgrigg/knockknock.git directly into your craft/plugins folder. You can then update it with git pull
3. Install plugin in the Craft Control Panel under Settings > Plugins
4. The plugin folder should be named knockknock for Craft to see it. GitHub recently started appending -master (the branch name) to the name of the folder for zip file downloads.

KnockKnock works on Craft 2.4.x and Craft 2.5.x.

Any one who visits your website will be asked for a password before they can see your website. Perfect for locking down websites in development that are on a public domain.

Go to the KnockKnock settings and enter a password. Anyone visiting your website will need to enter the password to see the website.

Email/text/Slack message the password to everyone who needs to see your website. If they don't enter the password when visiting your website they won't get in, simple.
