How to protect a QR code with a password?

How QR Code Protection Works

With protection switched on, a scan won't open your content until the right password is entered first. It's handy for a private link, a file, or anything you'd rather keep to a specific group of people.

How to Enable QR Code Protection

  1. Open My QR Codes.
  2. Locate the code you'd like to lock.
  3. Flip the Password toggle to On.
  4. Type your password, then type it again to confirm.
  5. Press Save Password.

From that point, anyone scanning it has to enter the password before the content shows.

How to Disable QR Code Protection

  1. Open My QR Codes.
  2. Find the code that's currently locked.
  3. Flip the Password toggle to Off.

With protection off, the code is open again, and a scan takes anyone straight to the content with no password step.
