# Password page

{% hint style="danger" %} <mark style="color:red;">Theme retirement</mark> Ira is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. **Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024**. [Learn more here](/ira/readme/theme-retirement.md).
{% endhint %}

Before you launch your store, you can use Shopify's password page feature to restrict access to your store. When the password page is active, all store pages are hidden and will not appear in search engine results.

> **Tip |** See our blog post about how to use your [password page as a marketing tool](https://fluorescent.co/blog/password-page) with a default template you can add to your store to get started.

### Quick setup

The template includes preset sections and layout to get you started. In the theme editor, you can customize content, settings, and overall page design with theme sections.

Open the **Password template** in your theme editor to customize the headings, password message, newsletter signup, and social icons and sharing blocks.
