login wall
Credential demand screen
A login wall is a barrier requiring users to create an account or sign in before accessing content on a website or app.
Like a paywall but demanding credentials instead of payment: The site put up a login wall, so I couldn't read the article without registering.
Often used to harvest user data or build email lists.
