Depending on your Craft License you could make use of a login form as described inside the docs [here](https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/dev/examples/login-form.html).

If you got the loginform working, simply use `{% requireLogin %}` on the site template (i.e. inside the twig template file) that should have restricted access.

If your goal is to just provide an E-Mail without a password you would need to tinker around a bit and maybe just write up a small plugin. To get startet I suggest reading [this](https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/extend/plugin-guide.html) and [this](https://nystudio107.com/blog/so-you-wanna-make-a-craft-3-plugin).
