If I password protect my page and add a future registration open date, can people with the password access my page early?
No. If you've set your registration page to open on a future date, the registration open date controls when the registration page becomes available. The registration date takes priority over password protection, so the page will remain closed until the registration open date arrives.
If you want to give early access to a specific group of registrants, remove the future registration open date and use the password protection feature instead. Anyone with the password will be able to access the page before it is available to the general public.
