Ensuring document security is crucial when sharing sensitive information. ClientPoint offers a Password Protection feature in its Recipient Viewer Options menu to safeguard documents by requiring recipients to enter a password before gaining access. This feature is easy to configure and adds an essential layer of security to your shared files.
Overview of Password Protection
The Password Protection feature prompts recipients to enter a password before viewing the documents you share through ClientPoint. This ensures that only authorized users can access the content, enhancing the confidentiality of your files.

Creating or Generating Passwords
Once Password Protection is activated, you have two options for securing your document:

Sharing the Password
When sending the link to view the document, ensure that you share the password with the recipient securely. For instance, you can communicate it through a separate email or a secure messaging platform.
