Secure your QR codes with password protection and control who can access your content
QR Password Protection adds an extra layer of security to your QR codes by requiring users to enter a password before they can be redirected to the destination URL. This feature controls who can access the redirect, but does not protect the destination content itself. It's perfect for controlling access to exclusive materials or ensuring only authorized users can reach your content.
User scans your QR code
Instead of going directly to your destination, they see a password entry page
User enters the password
They type in the password you set when creating the QR code
Redirect granted
If the password is correct, they're redirected to your destination URL. Note: This only protects the redirect process, not the destination content itself.
Control who can access premium content, member-only materials, or exclusive offers
Control who can access private events, VIP areas, or restricted locations
Control who can access confidential documents, private links, or personal information

QR code password protection only controls who can access the redirect process. It does not protect the destination content itself. If your destination URL is publicly accessible, users who know the direct URL can still access it without the password.
