Any Donation, Petition, High Dollar, or [Video Page](https://winred.com/blog/winred-video-pages-let-donors-give-during-live-stream-events/) on WinRed can be password-protected to keep it private.

Adding a password allows you to protect certain pages from public view, such as before a campaign announcement or initiative. 

Passwords are also a marketing tool that allow you to give supporters access to exclusive content.

**We released three updates that increase the functionality of Password-Protected pages** ⬇️

##### 1. Require an Exact Match (or Not)

****

**What’s New: **You can choose whether a password needs to be a perfect match in order to gain access to a page.

**Exact Match** requires the password to be entered with the same capitalization and spacing in order to access the page. 

When toggled off, a user can view the page with the correct password despite any capitalization and spaces entered in the password field.

##### 2. Add Password Callout

**What’s New: **Add custom callout to encourage the visitor to enter the password and access the page.

Pro-tip: Use [Merge Parameters](https://support.winred.com/en/articles/6960442-customize-your-page-with-url-parameters) to personalize the callout with the donor’s name.

##### 3. Prefill With a URL Parameter

**What’s New: **Include a URL parameter at the end of your page link to automatically prefill the password box and make it easier for the user to access the page.
