How can I password-protect my files?

With password protected files, anyone with the password you create will be able to see and study your note, but not have access to edit it.

Written by Abheek Pandoh

Note: Password protection is free for students. For teachers, it's part of Knowt Ultra.

Enabling password protection

  1. Find the flashcard set or note in your Materials, click its three-dot menu and choose Manage sharing.

  2. Under Viewing access, choose Password.

  3. Set the password, then Copy link and share the link and password with whoever needs it.

Share dialog with Password selected

Anyone with the link and password can view and study the file, but not edit it. To remove the password, open Manage sharing again and choose a different access level.
