Protect:Password_Form Tag

This tag is used to create a custom content password protection form.

Overview

The HTML of the form itself is up to you. The only requirement is to name the password input password and wrap the form with the tag pair.

Example

{{ protect:password_form }}
{{ if no_token }}
No token has been provided.
{{ else }}
 
{{ if error }}
<div class="error">{{ error }}</div>
{{ /if }}
 
<input type="password" name="password" />
 
{{ errors:password }}
<div class="inline-error">{{ value }}</div>
{{ /errors:password }}
 
<button>Submit</button>
 
{{ /if }}
{{ /protect:password_form }}

Tokens

When visiting a password protected page, Statamic generates a token and appends it to the form’s URL. Without this token, the form cannot function correctly. This is to combat brute-forcing and bots.

In the example above, you can see the no_token boolean will be populated for you. This may happen if you visit the form URL directly.
