Tips
- •Use a strong, unique password — avoid simple words like "password123".
- •Share the password through a separate channel (e.g., email, Slack, or in-person).
- •You can change or remove the password at any time from the link settings.
- •Password-protected links still track analytics — the click is recorded once the correct password is entered.
