hey, I was checking some of the feedback from users in Metabase - and found something around this idea.
Here are some of the mentions in feedback from users.
First of all, I think having this feature for Free would be a good advantage for since competitors offer it only as a Pro options. One example here.
Now going back to the issue, I think the main paint point is: as a developer/freelancer, how do I share the site for preview to a client, but without giving them Admin access?
Currently this is not possible, from what I know. And a solution like password protection or secret links - should fix this.
The password approach I think it's quite clear, while the secret link means to just use a secret argument in the URL that will show the page/site normally (something like this: https://demosites.io/neve-fse?secret-keyword
I think we can go with the one that is easier to implement.
What problem does this address?
A user of the plugin would like to invite some people to see their in-progress building website by sharing a password with them. The advantage of this feature is that a username won't be required for each visitor, it will work like password-protected pages in WordPress.
Right now, with the maintenance mode enabled, only users with a created account can see the website based on their user-role and what's set in the LightStarts options.
What is your proposed solution?
Add an option to enable a password field on the front end where people with the password can view the website like the maintenance mode is disabled, but without accessing the Dashboard.

Will this feature require documentation? (Optional)
Yes, it requires documentation.
