how the protected page works,?

You can enter the protected site, if you type in the correct password. I have not tried the feature yet, because it is in the online builder not aviable. So I can't give you further information.

I would also like to know exactly how it is working.

In a different page builder, it uses PHP (server sided script) to protect the page. This is the most secure protection, because the page content will not be send to the user untill the correct password has been entered. A second option uses Javascript encryption (client side script). The HTML code will be scrambled with the password. If the user enters the correct password the HTML will be descrambled.Javascript is less secure than PHP, because the (scrambled) content of the page will always be send to the browser since it has to be descrambled on the client side. However the average user will not be able to hack the password.

Those are the common ways. So how does Nicepage encrypt password protected pages?

Barry,

Shortly, the password is hashed using sha256 with and without salt. We also use these hashes for the page names and to check the password in the form.
For more, please create a private case, and we will provide more details.
