Frequently Asked Questions
How secure is password protection?
We use encryption to hash your passwords, the same standard used by banks and government agencies. Passwords are never stored in plain text, making them virtually impossible to crack.
Can I change the password after uploading?
Passwords are set during upload and cannot be changed afterward for security reasons. If you need to change the password, simply upload the file again with a new passcode.
What happens if someone enters the wrong password?
Failed password attempts are logged in your share analytics. You can track how many times someone tried to access your files with incorrect passwords, helping you identify potential security threats.
Can I combine password protection with other security features?
Yes! You can combine password protection with auto-expiry links, download limits, and email verification for maximum security. This multi-layer approach ensures your files are protected from all angles.
Is password protection available for free users?
Absolutely! Password protection is available to all users, including anonymous uploads. No account or subscription required to secure your files with a passcode.
How should I share the password with recipients?
For maximum security, share the download link and password through separate channels. For example, send the link via email and the password via SMS or phone call. This prevents unauthorized access if one channel is compromised.
