when active, the entire site is locked behind a basic password page. the user has to type in the password to the view the site. this works like logging in and stays active in a session. THIS IS FOR PUBLIC VIEWING. i.e. so that trusted friends and family can view the site without making the entire thing plainly public. sort of like when a tumblr blog is password protected

this of course stops showing up when an admin logs in too. (they can just go directly to /auth/login to bypass it since it is effectively the same thing)

it might be quite big/experimental to implement, maybe use base to catch every page, with exception on /auth/login. i think this should be considered a core feature since ease of sharing in a web page is part of the scope, but a constant public web page may not suit some/most users. i also would like this feature TBH. we will just have to see it doesnt cause too many major issues implementing it at this stage and not earlier on.
