I have the password protected action and i want to know how to make it work to protect a website page. I tried putting in the name with html at the field length and it does not work. Can someone please tell me the step to doing that

You probably want to set up a WabDAV with your ISP. Some control panels at some ISPs let you password protect a folder.
Best bet is call your ISP and ask how they do it normally.

The Action only obscures the location of a page. It is roughly as
secure as naming a page zsdfsaasdfasd.html and not publishing any
links to it. The way that you use it is you name a page something
cryptic, and publish it. Then you create a “login” page on another
page in your site, and tell people the “password”, which is the
filename of that page, minus the extension part. So to continue my
example, the password would be zsdfsaasdfasd. The authorized user
enters that password, and they get whisked to the page (or folder –
it tries both) with that name. The page is still visible, it’s not
really protected in any way.
As Dale mentioned, a basic authentication setup from your ISP is
considerably more secure, and only a little less trouble to configure
and use.
