  Hi Support,
  Can you answer these questions for my Alumni Asso? Can the free version remain “private”? When they say private do they mean it can’t be trolled by bots? If we are going to be storing passwords on this site we want it as secure as possible.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes, it can be private. Or it can just be set to invisible to search engines, which means bots won’t trawl it.

  I strongly recommend that you not use ANY website, particularly a joint website, to store passwords.

  Here is the support article about the privacy settings:

  your choice: public, invisible to search engines, or by invitation

  But storing passwords online? IMO: not the smartest fox in the den…
  Why would anyone do that?
