Auto-Submit Password for HubSpot Password-Protected Pages

How It Works

By adding a small script in the Footer HTML, you can:

1. Base64-encode the password
2. Pass it as a URL parameter (?protected=...)
3. Auto-fill and submit the form on page load

Perfect for sharing trusted content without friction.

Setup Steps

1. Add Script to Footer HTML
   
   Go to: Page Settings → Advanced Options → Footer HTML
   
   Paste this:
   
   <!-- Auto-fill & submit password form from encoded URL param -->
   <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
   <script>
   function getParameterByName(name, url) {
     if (!url) url = window.location.href;
     name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, "\\$&");
     var regex = new RegExp("[?&]" + name + "(=([^&#]*)|&|#|$)"),
          results = regex.exec(url);
     if (!results) return null;
     if (!results[2]) return '';
     return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, " "));
   }
   jQuery(document).ready(function() {
     console.log("Auto-password script running");
     setTimeout(function() {
       var getuser = getParameterByName("protected");
       if (getuser) {
         try {
           var decodedPassword = atob(getuser);
           console.log("Decoded password:", decodedPassword);
           var $pwdField = $('#hs-pwd-widget-password');
           if ($pwdField.length) {
             $pwdField.val(decodedPassword);
             $pwdField.closest("form").submit();
             console.log("Form submitted");
           } else {
             console.warn("Password field not found");
           }
         } catch (err) {
           console.error("Base64 decode failed:", err);
         }
       }
     }, 500);
   });
   </script>

2. Encode Your Password
   
   Open the browser console and type:
   
   btoa("yourpasswordhere")
   
   Example:
   
   btoa("amplifyetfs") → YW1wbGlmeWV0ZnM=
   
   
3. Build the URL
   
   Append your encoded password to the URL like this:
   
   https://yourdomain.com/yourpage?protected=YW1wbGlmeWV0ZnM=
   When visited, the script will decode amplifyetfs, auto-fill, and submit the form.

Examples

Example 1

Page: https://info.advisoryresearch.com/stifel-event
Password: $tifel3vent2025
Encoded: JHRpZmVsM3ZlbnQyMDI1
Final link:
https://info.advisoryresearch.com/stifel-event?protected=JHRpZmVsM3ZlbnQyMDI1

Example 2

Page: https://go.amplifyetfs.com/merrill
Password: amplifyetfs
Encoded: YW1wbGlmeWV0ZnM=
Final link:
https://go.amplifyetfs.com/merrill?protected=YW1wbGlmeWV0ZnM=
 

Notes & Best Practices

• Base64 encoding is not encryption — use only for trusted audiences.
• Ensure jQuery is loaded (included in script).
• Always set pages to noindex, nofollow:
  • <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">
• Test in an incognito window.
