Although Everything has the ability to have an http server along with user name and password logins.
I personally do not like usernames and passwords as people do tend to share this at times.
One thing people seldom share is their email login.
With that in mind
https://auth0.com/
Offers a FREE service whereby you can allow any specific Email address to access ANY kind of site/service.
So this means a user MUST be signed into their email addie to see your site.
So with everything it should be as simple as adding info to the index page page etc.
I tested this several years ago on a few different things and it worked great.
You must always test the service though with the server/script front end you are using.
Some scripts etc would allow someone to send a file link without it requiring any kind of authentication to be downloaded.
If memory serves right though, this could not be done with auth0.com and Everything http server.
The Free service from this place offers 7,000 connections per month.
The connections is NOT users, it means if user is logged in via 10 different locations browsers etc then that is 10 Connections.
But for personal or small business uses this more than enough of "connections"
This is NOT to take away from what everything offers, is only meant for those who want or require a higher level of security without needing to setup additional servers, scripts to have it.
a FREE auth service alterative to Username Pass login
