Password protect a flipbook
Passwords are not Fort Knox—they stop casual forwarding and keep subscriber content off Google Images. Pair them with HTTPS links and clear communication so real users do not bounce at the prompt.
When you enable a password, readers hit a short gate before the viewer loads. That is enough for many magazines, board decks, and partner-only pricing sheets. It is not a substitute for enterprise DRM if your threat model includes determined extraction—plan accordingly.
Operational habits
- Rotate passwords when teams change or after a campaign ends.
- Avoid one global password for every audience—leaks get messy.
- Tell people where to get the password (portal, welcome email) so support does not drown in “it does not work” tickets.
When to skip passwords
Public catalogs and top-of-funnel brochures usually want frictionless access. Save the gate for content that would embarrass you if it went wide.
