<Info>
  Note
  When your site is locked, no changes can be made to your site's files and database. For example, if you have a site with static content, this feature helps increase site security. On the other hand, if you have a site with dynamic content (such as an e-commerce site), you should not enable this feature.

6. To enable password protection for your site:
   1. Click the **Password Protection** slider, and then click **Add User:**
