For internal documents, exclusive events, or private content, you can add a password to any Dynamic QR Code.
How to Enable Protection
- Create or edit a Dynamic QR Code.
- In the settings panel, find the Security section.
- Toggle Password Protection to ON.
- Enter the password you wish to set.
- Click Save.
The User Experience
When someone scans a protected QR code:
- They are taken to a secure entry page.
- They are prompted to enter the password.
- If correct, they are instantly redirected to your destination URL.
Security Note: Passwords are encrypted on our servers. However, this is intended as a simplified gate for marketing and privacy, not as a replacement for high-security enterprise authentication systems.
Resetting Passwords
If you forget the password or want to change it, simply return to the QR code settings in your dashboard and enter a new one. It takes effect immediately for all future scans.
