Add the password
- Open your tour in the editor and choose + Add at the top left.
- Choose the Password card, then Add.
- The Password settings open. Under Password Setup, type the password and choose Save. “Password saved successfully!” confirms it, and the box changes to Password is set.
Do step 3 straight away. Protection is on as soon as you add the block, so until a password is saved, nobody can open the tour.
The block gets its own Password tab in the bar at the top of the editor, or under More if you have several blocks. Open it to come back to these settings.

Tips
- Every plan can do this, including the free trial.
- Test it by opening the tour’s link in a private browser window, where you’re not signed in.
- The password applies to the tour’s link, its embed and its MLS link.
- A password keeps a tour out of sight of the public. Don’t rely on it for confidential information: for a tour only you should see, make it Private.
Common questions
Can I password protect a virtual tour?
Yes. Add the Password block from + Add in the editor and save a password. Every TeliportMe plan includes password protection, including the free trial.
Does the password work on embedded tours and MLS links?
Yes. The password applies to the tour’s link, its embed on your website and its MLS link.
Can I see the password I set?
No. TeliportMe encrypts the password before it’s saved, so the editor only shows Password is set. Choose Change password to set a new one.
What do visitors see if they type the wrong password?
They see the Incorrect Password Error message, and the tour stays locked. You can reword the message under Modal Text.
