V0: Team-or-Password Access Control for Published Apps
V0V0 added a new "Team or password" visibility option for published apps, letting owners require Vercel team sign-in while still allowing access by password for people outside the team. This gives more flexible access control than the previous all-or-nothing password protection.
Key Takeaways
- V0 published apps gain a new "Team or password" visibility mode, combining two access methods in one setting.
- Team members get frictionless access via their existing Vercel sign-in, no password needed.
- External visitors without team membership can still get in using a shared password.
- The option sits alongside V0's existing password-only and fully public visibility settings, rather than replacing them.
- This is particularly useful for apps with mixed internal/external audiences, like client demos or stakeholder reviews.
- It's a modest but practical refinement to V0's app-sharing controls rather than a major new surface.
A New Access Control Option
When publishing an app, V0 users have historically been able to restrict access with a password. V0 has now added a "Team or password" visibility setting, which requires visitors to either sign in with a Vercel account that belongs to the app's team, or enter a password — whichever is more convenient for a given visitor.
Why It Matters
This is useful for apps that mix internal and external audiences: teammates get frictionless access via their existing Vercel team membership, while an external stakeholder, client, or reviewer without a team account can still get in using a shared password. It's a small but practical addition to V0's publishing controls, sitting alongside existing password-only and public visibility options.
