Email + PIN Gallery Access
How email-gated access and 4-digit download PINs work together to keep a gallery private while staying easy for a client to use.
Email gating asks a visitor to type their email before viewing a gallery — mainly useful for knowing who's actually looked at it, since every email entered becomes a contact record you can see.
A separate 4-digit PIN can gate downloads specifically, so browsing stays open to anyone with the link while pulling full-resolution originals needs the extra code — with a lockout after repeated wrong attempts to stop brute-forcing.
Frequently asked questions
Does entering an email add someone to my contacts?
Yes — anyone who enters an email to view a gated gallery becomes a contact record automatically.
What happens after too many wrong PIN attempts?
The gallery locks out further attempts temporarily, protecting against someone guessing a 4-digit code by brute force.
