Build a password-protected portfolio or resume page
Host a simple resume or portfolio with optional password access for recruiters.
Who it's for
- Job seekers sharing a resume HTML page with select recruiters
- Designers showing a portfolio before a public launch
- Students submitting a static project link to a course portal
Steps
- Build one HTML file — Keep CSS inline or relative; test locally in a browser.
- Host — Follow host your first page on the home page.
- Enable password — Turn on Password protect and choose a recruiter-friendly password.
- Share privately — Send the link and password separately; mention it is not indexed for you.
- Go public later — Disable password in History → Edit when you want an open portfolio.
- Add multi-page work — Use zip upload if the portfolio spans many files.

Gotchas
- Password gates deter casual viewers but are not encryption—avoid highly sensitive data.
- Keep page weight modest for mobile recruiters on slow networks.
- Use your real name in the Page title so it is easy to find in History.
