Does the Moz Pro site crawl, crawl password protected sites?

So i asked Moz Pro site crawl to crawl my page, and a lot of issues came up - but for password protected sites. Does the Moz Pro site crawl do this? A lot of the issues, are not relevant for a site that is password protected.

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here!

Typically requiring a password to access certain pages on the site will prevent our crawler from reaching them, but if those pages are linked to somewhere else on your site, it's possible for our crawler to still find those pages.

This sounds like it might be pretty specific to your Campaign, so I would encourage you to contact us at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to sort through this with you.

Thanks!

No, none of them are. Most of them are about metadata or content issues. My impression were, that google or Moz for that sake, couldn't crawl sites you have to use a password to access? Thanks for your answer by the way

Hi there,

Were the issues that came up for the password protected pages all '403 Forbidden' errors/warnings? If so, I would not be concerned about this assuming that these pages should be blocked with a login. The Moz Pro site crawl will not be able to access these pages or properly analyze them.
