# Share a Password Protected Microapp

## Let's walk through how to send a password protected microapp and what your recipient sees when it lands. Once Password Protection is on, every link you create asks for a password first, so the pricing sheet you send to one buyer does not open for whoever it gets forwarded to.

| **HEADS UP** Password Protection is a microapp setting, not a per-share option. Turn it on first in Microapp Settings, or your links go out unprotected. |
| --- |

Not set up yet? See [**Controlling Who Can View Your Microapp**](https://support.tiled.co/microapp-settings-2.0#sharing-settings) on Builder 2.0 or [**Security**](https://support.tiled.co/microapp-settings-security)for  Builder 1.0 to switch Password Protection on, then come back here.

**1\. Open the share modal**

You have two ways in, and both land on the same modal.

**1.** **Open your Library.** Find the microapp you want to send.

**2.** **Select the share icon.** The share modal opens with a password section already waiting, because Password Protection is on.

[![tiled-microapp-card-share-icon-reference](https://support.tiled.co/hs-fs/hubfs/tiled-microapp-card-share-icon-reference.png?width=641&height=355&name=tiled-microapp-card-share-icon-reference.png)](https://support.tiled.co/hubfs/tiled-microapp-card-share-icon-reference.png)

| **USING BUILDER 1.0?** The Library share icon is your only entry point in Builder 1.0. The post-publish shortcut below is Builder 2.0 only. |

| **PRO TIP** In Builder 2.0 you can also share straight from the publish confirmation, which saves a trip back to the Library when you have just finished edits. |

Protect access to shared microapps using a password. This added layer of security helps ensure the intended individuals are viewing the microapp content. 

[![tiled-password-share-requirements@2x](https://support.tiled.co/hs-fs/hubfs/tiled-password-share-requirements@2x.png?width=670&height=123&name=tiled-password-share-requirements@2x.png)](https://support.tiled.co/hubfs/tiled-password-share-requirements@2x.png)

**2. Choose the Direct, Public or Subtag tab and fill out the required fields.**

[![tiled-share-password-modal-callouts](https://support.tiled.co/hs-fs/hubfs/tiled-share-password-modal-callouts.png?width=670&height=444&name=tiled-share-password-modal-callouts.png)](https://support.tiled.co/hubfs/tiled-share-password-modal-callouts.png)

**3. Create a password or have the system generate a password for you.**

**[![tiled-password-create-generate@2x](https://support.tiled.co/hs-fs/hubfs/tiled-password-create-generate@2x.png?width=670&height=198&name=tiled-password-create-generate@2x.png)](https://support.tiled.co/hubfs/tiled-password-create-generate@2x.png)**

**4. Send a direct share**

A direct share goes to named people, which suits a proposal headed to a specific buying committee.

**1.** **Select the Direct tab.** The modal switches to the direct share fields.

**2.** **Enter the recipient email address.** This is who the microapp is going to.

**3.** **Set the password.** Write your own or have Tiled generate one for you.

**4.** **Select Send Email.** Tiled delivers the microapp to your recipient.

**[![tiled-share-password-states (1)](https://support.tiled.co/hs-fs/hubfs/tiled-share-password-states%20(1).png?width=670&height=405&name=tiled-share-password-states%20(1).png)](https://support.tiled.co/hubfs/tiled-share-password-states%20(1).png)**

| **TRY IT YOURSELF** Send a password protected direct share to your own work address, then open it as a recipient would. Five minutes in the buyer seat is worth more than any description of the flow. |

### **Receiving a Shared Password Protected Microapp**

Your recipient will receive a shared email with the password and share link

**[![tiled-share-password-email-callouts (1)](https://support.tiled.co/hs-fs/hubfs/tiled-share-password-email-callouts%20(1).png?width=670&height=430&name=tiled-share-password-email-callouts%20(1).png)](https://support.tiled.co/hubfs/tiled-share-password-email-callouts%20(1).png)**

### **What your recipient sees**

Here's the experience on the other end, so you can set expectations before you hit send.

• **The email arrives** carrying the share link and the password.

• **The link opens a splash screen** rather than the microapp itself.

• **They enter the password** and the microapp loads.

• **If they do not have the password**, the splash screen gives them a way to contact whoever shared it.

**[![tiled-share-password-splash-callouts (1)](https://support.tiled.co/hs-fs/hubfs/tiled-share-password-splash-callouts%20(1).png?width=665&height=391&name=tiled-share-password-splash-callouts%20(1).png)](https://support.tiled.co/hubfs/tiled-share-password-splash-callouts%20(1).png)**

| **HEADS UP** Tiled sends the link and the password in the same email. Anyone who receives that email forward gets both. |
| --- |

| **TRY IT YOURSELF** Forward one of your own password protected share emails to a second address you own and open it there. Knowing exactly how far a forward travels tells you when a password is enough and when you also want Link Expiration. |
| --- |

**Create a public link**

A public link suits content you will post or paste, like a launch microapp going into a campaign email.

**1.** **Select the Public tab.** The modal switches to the public link fields.

**2.** **Name your share link.** Give it a name you will recognize later in My Shares, such as Q4 Pricing or Fall Campaign.

**3.** **Set the password.** Write your own or have Tiled generate one.

**4.** **Create the link.** Copy it wherever you need it.

[![tiled-share-password-public-link-steps](https://support.tiled.co/hs-fs/hubfs/tiled-share-password-public-link-steps.png?width=670&height=404&name=tiled-share-password-public-link-steps.png)](https://support.tiled.co/hubfs/tiled-share-password-public-link-steps.png)

| **TRY IT YOURSELF** Name your next public link after the campaign it belongs to rather than the microapp. Six weeks later, My Shares will tell you which campaign the traffic came from at a glance. |
| --- |

**Create a subtag link**

A subtag link carries tracking through to your analytics, so you can tell one audience apart from another using the same microapp.

**1.** **Select the Subtag tab.** The modal switches to the subtag fields.

**2.** **Set the password.** Subtag shares need a password and nothing else.

**3.** **Create the link.** Your subtag link is ready to distribute.

[![tiled-share-password-subtag-link-steps](https://support.tiled.co/hs-fs/hubfs/tiled-share-password-subtag-link-steps.png?width=670&height=361&name=tiled-share-password-subtag-link-steps.png)](https://support.tiled.co/hubfs/tiled-share-password-subtag-link-steps.png)

| **TRY IT YOURSELF** Send the same protected microapp to two subtag links, one per region, then compare engagement in analytics. Same content, two audiences, one clean comparison. |
| --- |

**Common Questions**

| **QUESTION** | **ANSWER** |
| --- | --- |
| **Do I need a password for every share type?** | Yes. Direct, public, and subtag shares each require a password while Password Protection is on. |
| **Can I use the same password on more than one link?** | Yes. Reuse a password across a buying committee, or set a different one per account. |
| **Where do I turn Password Protection on?** | In Microapp Settings under Sharing, called Security in Builder 1.0. See Controlling Who Can View Your Microapp. |
| **Will my existing share links start asking for a password?** | No. Password Protection applies to new share links only. Links you sent earlier keep working as they did. |
| **Can I send an email reminder for a password protected share?** | No. My Shares does not send email reminders for password protected share links. |
| **What if my recipient loses the password?** | The splash screen gives them a way to contact whoever shared the microapp. You can also resend the share. |
| **Can I add an expiration date as well?** | Yes. Password Protection and Link Expiration work together, which is a common pairing for pricing and proposals. |
