I've seen a few sites around that require a password (and/or username) to view a particular photo gallery.
I've looked around but this seems to be a very broad topic and most of the solutions are more complicated than I want to deal with. Ideally, I'd like to find something that codes everything for me, and all I have to do is have the user type in a password, and I suppose a username if it's required.
Can I ask what everyone here may be using, and how happy you are with it?
Sorry I don't guess I was very clear on that. I've basically designed my site using Dreamweaver, and I'm using Lightroom for the galleries. I'm hoping to find an easy way to just insert a page that prompts the visitor to enter a password before they are allowed to continue & view the gallery they want to see.
Have you already checked the lightroom documentation for this? If it doesn't support authentication, you can do it one level down with the webserver. You can check the documentation for whatever webserver software you are using (apache, jigsaw, lighthttpd, etc...) on how to do this.
edit: looking at your original question, if you are looking for some sort of slick user management, I think you are out of luck.
