Why I Use Password Protection for Images
I used to share image links without any protection. Then I realized anyone with the link could access my images - even if I only wanted specific people to see them. Password protection changed everything.
Control Access
Only people with the password can view your images. Share the password separately through email, message, or in-person. This ensures only intended recipients can access your content.
Prevent Unauthorized Access
Even if someone gets your image link, they can't view the images without the password. This prevents accidental sharing or unauthorized access from forwarded links.
Professional Use
For client portfolios or sensitive business images, password protection adds an extra layer of security. Clients feel more confident knowing their content is protected.
Privacy Control
Perfect for personal photos, family albums, or private collections. You control exactly who can see your images by controlling who has the password.
How Password Protection Works
Upload Images
Upload your images to MaiImg as usual (up to 25 at once).
Set Password
Enable password protection and set a strong password. You can use letters, numbers, and symbols.
Share Link & Password
Share the link and password separately. Recipients enter the password to view images.
Best Practices for Password Protection
Strong Passwords
- Use at least 8 characters
- Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
- Avoid common words or personal information
- Use different passwords for different image sets
Secure Sharing
- Never include password in the same message as the link
- Share password through separate channel (email, phone, in-person)
- Use different passwords for different recipients
- Change password if link is compromised
Use Cases for Password Protection
Client Portfolios
Share design portfolios with clients using password protection. Each client gets a unique password, ensuring only they can access their project images.
Private Photo Albums
Share family photos or personal albums with password protection. Control who can access your private memories.
Product Previews
Share exclusive product previews with select customers or partners. Password protection ensures only authorized viewers can access.
Educational Materials
Share course materials or training images with enrolled students. Use passwords to ensure only students can access content.
