Due to security issues I had password protected my Genopro Family Tree, using password protection with Genopro, it sort of works. The problem is even after password protection, if you do a Google search, you can still see dates of birth and names, for living relatives, in the search results.
When you select the link in Google, it does request a password, but the names and DOB are already visable in the search. The other issue is, if the search result has a SVG link it is not protected with a password, and you can open it. This indicates that “svg” files are not password protected.
So I deleted by family tree and did a Google search. Some search’s still show up so, I requested Google to remove all URL, related to this site, but still see some?

I has already submitted this link and when I try to resubmit, I get the following”Webmaster has already blocked the page” see below.

Before I republish the family Tree, I am trying to understand what my options are to secure the family tree as I have living individuals, with private info, from search engines etc.
My understanding is, there can only be a single "/robots.txt" on a site, so is Genopro considered a site and everyone publishing a family tree a user, or are they also considered a single user so we can add a “robots.txt” file in our root directory?
User-agent: * # applies to all robots
Disallow: / # disallow indexing of all pages
will this work?
Or do users need to add a”META element”? If so, which file do I need to add the following to:
<META name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
It would be great if Genopro has a tab for security options, with most requested security settings, for passwords, Robot.txt, Meta Tag etc options.
