Password protection gives you a practical way to keep a QR workflow convenient without leaving it fully open. It works well when access should be limited by audience, timing, or project sensitivity.
Decide the right scope first
You can think about protection at three levels:
- one individual QR code
- one grouped workflow or arrangement
- a broader project-level standard when several codes should share the same rule
Use schedules intentionally
Time-based access rules are helpful when a workflow should open only during certain hours or on certain days. The most important part is choosing the timezone that matches the real location of the work, not just the office.
Create a password people can actually use
The password should be secure enough for the use case, but not so awkward that people immediately need help accessing the workflow.
Know when project-wide settings are worth it
Applying the same protection pattern across a broader workflow can reduce confusion when several codes belong to the same controlled audience. It also lowers the chance that one code gets missed during setup.
Review before posting protected codes
- Confirm the right scope: one code, one group, or the wider project.
- Check that the timezone matches the physical location.
- Verify the schedule matches how people actually work.
- Test the scan path so the password experience is predictable.
