How to make your Linktree private with Profile Lock

Profile Lock lets you gate your entire Linktree behind an access requirement of your choosing, whether that's a password, a code, or an email opt-in. Instead of locking individual links, it puts a single access gate over your whole Linktree, so you control exactly who sees your content and when.

What Profile Lock does

Anyone who visits a locked Linktree sees a lock screen and no content until they meet the condition you set.

You can choose from three lock types:

• Password: Visitors enter a password you set.
• Code: Visitors enter a 4-digit code you set.
• Subscribe: Visitors enter their email to unlock, and you capture it as a lead in your Audience.

How to turn on Profile Lock

1. From My Linktree, select Settings () in the bottom-left corner. Select Visibility and access.
   • On a mobile device, tap More, then tap Settings.
2. Turn on Lock your Linktree.
3. Choose a lock type: Password, Code, or Subscribe.
4. Enter the value for your chosen lock type, or add a description if you picked Subscribe, then save your changes.
5. Turn on Show a custom lock screen message and enter your Lock screen message, if you want.

What visitors see

A visitor who lands on your locked Linktree sees a lock screen instead of your content. No links, social icons, or description load until they satisfy your lock condition.

For a Subscribe lock, a new visitor enters their email, completes a captcha, and agrees to the terms. Once they submit, your full Linktree loads for them.

Returning visitors who've already unlocked your Linktree don't need to do this again right away. We store a cookie in their browser so they're let straight through on their next visit.
