Hello,
I added a script to my post layout that checks for the password parameter in the front matter before loading the page. It’s not a perfect solution, but it adds a bit of security unless someone decides to go to the repository and look up the password.
Here is a demo - use 1234 to open the post and here is a tutorial if you want to implement it.
Any suggestions are welcome! thanks!
You don’t need the repo to retrieve the password. It’s hard coded in your page. Also the content of your post is available in the page.
It’s a really simple solution, providing a false sense of security, imho.

I agree, I tried using GitHub secrets but unable to archive the same results - it must have to do something with how hugo builds.
