How to use password protection?

What is password protection?

Password protection is a security feature that enables you to limit access to a webpage or the destination URL with a unique password.

When visitors click on your short link, they will need to enter a password to access the destination page (URL).

If the password is wrong, they will get an error message: " The password is invalid or does not match. "
