Is there a way to have a password when the default page load?

I use to have homarr and there is a way to put a password to protect the page.
Is there a way to activate a similar feature with homepage?

Thanks for posting a discussion about homepage here on GitHub. Homepage now uses a fancy new AI tool thanks to our friends at Glime, so the answer below is the AI bot's attempt to answer your question.

Thanks for using Homepage! ❤️

Based on the information provided in the context, Homepage does not natively support a user authentication system to log in and see different things based on the user. The project's maintainers have discussed the possibility of adding a simple username/password system to lock the dashboard, but they decided against it because user management can become complex and is outside the scope of the project's goals.

However, there was a discussion about protecting the dashboard using external methods, such as an access list through Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM), but this approach does not integrate directly with Homepage and has its limitations, such as not saving login information.

For more details on the discussions regarding authentication and user management, you can refer to the following links from the project's GitHub:

• Issue discussing the possibility of adding a simple username/password system: [Feature Request] Authentication #1125
• Discussion on the feature request for login functionality: Login to dashboard #3245

If you require a password protection feature for Homepage, you might need to consider using an external authentication proxy or another method to manage access to the Homepage dashboard.
