A free DIY reimplementation of Vercel's $150/mo Advanced Deployment Protection add-on — all three features (Password Protection, private/prod deployments, Deployment Protection Exceptions) plus named automation bypass tokens — a middleware gate for ANY framework on Vercel (Next.js proxy, or SvelteKit/Nuxt/Astro/Remix/static via Routing Middleware). Gates previews by default, production opt-in; fully branded unlock page; zero prod cost. Use when asked to password-protect or basic-auth a…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Vercel deployment password gate

A free, portable password wall for **preview deployments by default** — and for
**production too, opt-in** (see "Gating production too"). Humans see a brandable
unlock form once (a signed 1-year cookie keeps them in); automation passes with
named bypass tokens via header or query parameter. In the default preview-only
posture, production ships **no middleware function at all** (Mode B) or a
one-boolean short-circuit (Mode A), so the gate's production cost is zero. Only
a **scrypt hash** of the password is stored; unlock cookies are keyed
per-credential, so rotating the password or removing a bypass token revokes
exactly the cookies it issued.

## Removing an existing installation?

For "remove the password protection", "uninstall the gate", or "make the site
public again", go directly to [Remove the gate](./reference/uninstall.md).
Do not run the installation steps. That guide covers reverting isolated commits,
manual removal, external configuration cleanup, and deployment verification.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stealth-factory/skills/vercel-deployment-password-gate@sha256:5ac5c4029eff31c2

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.12.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
