Dynamic codes

Protect a code with a password

Ask for a password before a dynamic QR code opens its destination.

Pro and Business plans can put a password on a dynamic code.

Add a password

  1. Open the code from Codes.
  2. Under Settings, open Access & schedule.
  3. Type a Password of 4 to 64 characters and save.

What scanners see

Scanners see "This QR code is password protected", with a Password field and a Continue button.

After the right password, that browser stays unlocked for 6 hours.

Share the password separately

Anyone with the password can open the code. Share it the way you'd share any password, not printed next to the code.

Remove the password

Clear the Password field and save. Removing it works on any plan.
