Password for a Document folder

I have not needed a pasword in the past and I remember years ago in was not possible for a P/W for a document folder.
Has there been any changes that now allow for passwords for a document ?
If not, any free apps out there for it ?
thanks,
Greg

Yes, you can create an encrypted folder and save files into it. Only someone with the password will be able to open the folder or its contents.
There's a detailed explanation in this thread here:

Simple question: I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder. How can I do this? If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

iCloud does not provide general file storage or backup, so you cannot back up your Documents folder using it. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options (some are free):

iCloud at basic level, with 5GB is storage, is free: you only pay anything if you want to increase the storage space.

Pages created a random password for my document on my iPad. I have no idea what it is and I can't open my document. HELP!!!

How old is your son?
Under the Spanner in Pages there is Set Password where you create a password with hint. You really have to deliberately dig this out to do it.
Do you get a hint when you are asked for the password?
The Password is very secure, if you can't remember what it is, you will have to recreate the document.

Is there a password lockout after entering too many incorrect passwords for a .dmg folder?

I entered three passwords for my .dmg folder before receiving a warning that said authentication error. I'm pretty sure I am now entering the right password, but it still won't open. I'm wondering if I've been locked out? I tried to shut down and restart the computer and do it again, but it's still not working.

There is no lockout feature.

In Pages 5.0.1 option to set password for editing document is gone when exporting as a pdf

In last version of Pages, I would make a proposal to a customer and then go to 'share' and then choose 'PDF' from the drop down. Next screen allowed me to choose the option of password protecting the document from being edited. This new version of Pages only seems to allow setting a password for opening the document. I do not need to password protect the document from being opened, just edited. Any help for this new problem? Apple always seems to remove features that are so helpful and useful when they 'upgrade' apps., very frustrating!

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Forgotten password for Pages document

I have forgotten my password for a Pages document. Is there any way I can open the document? Even with the hint I cannot get it right.

Do you perhaps have a backup copy of the document from prior to when you set the password? Have you checied your Keychain.app records to see if there might be an entry for this document?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Password protection of iWork documents is not available in iWork '08. The feature was added with iWork '09.
However, you can use an encrypted disk image to secure your documents.

Keyboard shortcut for the Document Folder in file open/save dialog

Does anyone know if there exists a keyboard shortcut for Document Folder in the File Save/Open Dialog? <command><shift>O works in the Finder. I tried variations of that in the dialog and didn't find any. <command>D takes you to the desktop. I tried other variations surrounding that to get to the Document Folder and didn't find any.
Anyone? Bueller?

There isn't.

How can I retrieve a password for a document?

You won't believe this....
I made a document in Acrobat 9 on my Win7 computer, password protected it, typed it in a 2nd time, then saved the document. Just seconds later, I went to test the document to make sure it'd open, so I tried to open it, and ..... it wouldn't open. It said 'wrong password'. So I must have had my fingers on the keyboard in the wrong home base position, and typed something other than I thought. I typed the same "password" with my fingers in different spots on the keyboard, but couldn't replicate the mistake.
How can I retrieve a password?
1) I thought there was something on computers where you could find out previous keystrokes, especially if you've not yet turned off your computer. I read one time where you do some steps then paste the results onto a .txt file, and it will show your previous keystrokes.
2) I almost bought one of those Password Recovery software programs online last night from Daosoft. I wonder if they're a scam, or if they really work?

You can't recover the password. If you could, I could have as well and the whole purpose of encryption would be moot. This is why it is a good practice to save the original PDF before you secure it.
If the password that you created was a really strong one (other than word 'password' or some other word) I doubt that the password recovery programs would do the work. They are usually good only for fairly simple passwords.
Acrobat X added new way of encryption that is almost impossible to crack and Acrobat XI added the password strength indicator which tells you how good the password that you're entering is.

Setting passwords for pdf document generated by SAP system

We are generating PDF documents from SAP system and distributing them as email attachment. just want to know if anyhow we can enforce the password protection while generating these documents or may be setting the password protection before distribution. If yes, then what are the requirements/essentials for the same?

1. Is there any OSS Note on the same issue where it has been published by SAP that it can only be ensured using third party solutions? If yes, may I have the link?
I have no clue on this i.e. whether we can integrate Adobe Policy Server. My understanding was in it's current state it is NOT possible to have secured PDF Forms.
2. May I have the more elaboration on the way you mentioned in your reply?
Well what you can do is hide all the elements in the form and keep only a TextField visible. Now write a script and check the value entered in the TextField. If it matches with the default password you want to set then make the form visible else display error prompt back to user.

That's not possible in Adobe Reader - you will need to use a PDF creation or editing program such as Adobe Acrobat.

Save the password for Mobile Documents Desktop

Hi,
since Upgrade to Mobile Documents Windows 1.24 I have to enter the Password at every Boot. Is it possible to save the Password?
Regards
Andreas Czech

Hi,
The admin can specify whether to allow Desktop Client to "save passwords locally". You should contact your admin, to check if they have not disabled the setting.
If they have allowed you to save the password locally, on start in the login screen, you should see a checkbox "Remember my password" option. This will help you to save the password and you will not be asked to enter a password on each boot.
