Password protected QR Codes

You can add a password to restrict the access to the content of a QR Code. When this option is set, users scanning the QR Code or following the short URL will be required to enter a password.

If a valid password is not entered, the user will not be redirected to the destination URL nor will be able to see the content of the landing page.

You can use this option when you are sharing private information or when your campaigns/contents are not ready yet and you want to share them with your colleagues or customers.
