## Password Protection charges

For Pro teams with project-level pricing, Vercel adds a $20 monthly charge when you enable Password Protection for a project. Each protected project is charged separately. Disable Password Protection from the [project's settings](/docs/deployment-protection/methods-to-protect-deployments/password-protection#how-to-enable-and-manage-password-protection)

### Existing teams with the legacy Advanced Deployment Protection package

Existing Pro teams that purchased the legacy Advanced Deployment Protection package keep their current billing model and functionality, including Password Protection for every project. The package appears on invoices as Team Level Password Protection.

If you prefer to switch to project-level Password Protection, contact support.
