Vercel Authentication can now protect all deployments in a project, including production, at no additional cost on every plan. Previously, protecting production domains required the $150-per-month Advanced Deployment Protection add-on.
When enabled, visitors must sign in with a Vercel account that has access to the project. This makes it useful for internal tools, private dashboards, and sites that aren’t yet ready to launch.
From your project, open Security in the sidebar, select Deployment Protection, then choose All Deployments from the dropdown.
You can also make this the team default, so every new project starts with Vercel Authentication enabled for all deployments.
With this change:
Deployment Protection Exceptions are now free on every plan. Use an exception to make a specific preview domain public while keeping the rest of the project protected.
Pro teams can now enable Password Protection for individual projects instead of purchasing it for the entire team.
