## Example

234-
I want to set up authentication for my docs hosted at `docs.foo.com`. I don't want
235-
to have to keep track of who can and cannot access the docs. My main use case for
236-
authentication is to prevent competitors from snooping - password sharing is secure
237-
enough for my team.
238-
239-
To set up authentication with Mintlify, I go to my Mintlify dashboard and add at
240-
least one password. I then share that password, along with the private docs URL,
241-
with potential customers.
236+
Your documentation is hosted at `docs.foo.com` and you need basic access control without tracking individual users. You want to prevent public access while keeping setup simple.
