- A cookie is installed on the browser once the password had been filled in once.
It won't be asked again, unless you edit the password from your back office.
- The fonts and validation button's design can not be customized.
- Google bot cannot access your PWA when it is restricted.
- This feature is applied automatically, no need to rebuild your PWA or update its settings.
