New capabilities include: * configurable password complexity requirements * secure customer account policies * Stealth Mode for restricting public access during development * improved control over website visibility before launch. These features help businesses maintain a secure online presence without slowing down development or operational workflows. ## Real-world use cases ### Build and test with confidence Develop new pages, launch seasonal campaigns or redesign your storefront directly within your production environment while using Stealth Mode to prevent public access. Internal teams, partners and stakeholders can review changes before they are released to customers. ### Strengthen customer account security Configure password policies that require minimum lengths, numbers and special characters for customer accounts. Stronger password requirements help reduce the risk of compromised credentials while supporting organizational security standards. ### Keep unfinished content out of public view Prepare new products, pricing updates or landing pages without exposing incomplete content to customers or search engines. Once everything has been reviewed and approved, simply disable Stealth Mode to make your updates publicly available. ## Why it matters Strong security is about more than protecting customer passwords. It also gives businesses confidence to develop, test and launch new digital experiences without disrupting live operations. StoreConnect combines practical security controls with streamlined website management, helping organizations reduce risk while maintaining the agility needed to grow their online business. By managing security alongside ecommerce, customer data and website content within Salesforce, businesses gain a more secure and controlled environment for both day-to-day operations and future growth.
