Password protecting documents in Pages

Is it possible to save a document in Pages (1.0.2) with password protection?

Stephen - This is not possible. I use this workaround for the one or two files I really need to password protect: I use Disk Utility to create a new disk image. I choose the size I want (5 meg is good enough) and select the option to encrypt it. This makes a disk image that requires a password to view. Once it's open, I can put any files I want on it.
This won't be a good solution if you want to send someone a password protected file or have other needs.
Incidentally: Since iPods have no security, when I backup my entire personal folder to it, I do it onto the same kind of encrypted image. This should be very safe in case I lose my iPod.

No longer can open a password proteced document in Pages

Hi,
I have a password protected document that I've been using for a long time. Now I am unable to open it. I get a message saying that my password is wrong. One thing I did a couple of days ago that has to do with passwords: I attempted to make a Pages file password protected. I tried to follow the directions from this webpage: can you password protect pages folders. I thought I followed the steps correctly, but later I found that I am able to open the file and the document inside with out a password. So I moved the image file--that I had created in the process--to the trash then emptied the trash.
The password document I am interested to open was not in the file I tried to password protect, nor I tampered with this document for the last two weeks.
I am using Pages 5.5.2 on with OS X 10.10.2 on mac air.
My mac has installed Security Update 2015-003 V.1 on March 20th. I can't figure out if this security update was installed before or after I tried to password protect the file I mentioned above.
Is there a way I can solve this issue and be able to open my password document?
Thanks
Louis

…or with the chiclet keyboards have it drop characters randomly without you noticing.
I spent the last 2 days trying to get back into a bank account I know the password to, only finally noticing there were too few dots when I typed.
Sometimes OS X even tries to spell correct passwords and CATCHAs.

Password protect a single page on a site

Hi,
Please culd someone advise me on the best and simplist way of password protecting a single page on a site? I've done some research and there seems to be a fair bit of conflicting information. I just need anyone that clicks on a certain link to be prompted for a password and if possible be able to change the password on a monthly basis (i'd prefer it if my client could do this as well).
Many thanks
Regards
Rob

Below is a simple username/password page if you only have a handful of clients where a database is over-kill.
It uses php so your hosting provider will need to be able to handle php. This will work with any of the following combination of the username and passsword.
Pink, Elephant
Blue, Sky
Fat, Pig
You can change the usernames and passwords in the php code below to suit yourself and you can add addtional usernames and passwords to the php. You can change the url they will be sent to once they enter the correct combination of username and password.

How do I recover the hint for a password protected document

How can I find the "hint" for password in a password protected document?

To my knowledge, there is no provision for access to a password hint in a Pages document. That's why you keep a separate, but secure offline document with your document name and password right? Otherwise, you have joined the ranks of those that are simply out of luck, after forgettting their document password.

Can't password protect documents

A year ago I bought a license for Adobe Acrobat Standard which included access to certain features including the ability to password protect documents. Suddenly it has stopped working. I have already re-downloaded my product version and that has not solved the problem and can find nothing online to help. Any suggestions or solutions will be appreciated.

This is the forum for the free Reader software. If you are sure you are using Acrobat and not Reader, you'll want to visit the Acrobat forum for help.

Hi noswam123,
If a PDF file is password protected, the only way to open that document is with the password. You will have to get that password from the person who created the PDF.

Help in Setting Password Protection to a Page in DW MX2004

I need to add password protection to a page. How do I do this in DW MX2004?
Any help would be appreciated.
Dreawmweaver newbie.

Depends on the following:
What kind of server are you on - Linux or Windows?
How secure do you need this to be?
How many pages do you want to protect?
How many unique usernames & passwords do you need?
If your requirements are simple, start by contacting your host. They may provide an Admin Panel from which you could set up a password protected folder.
Or do a Google search for .htaccess and .htpasswd.

Can I allow commenting on a password-protected document?

I'd like to publish a book online and so want to at least password-protect it. From what I have read, this precludes "Enable For Commenting".
Is there a way to publish a password-protected document but have the users still be allowed to attach comments of their own (for their own use) ?
Thanks,
-Ed

As soon as I enable commenting, the "encrypt with password" option is greyed-out so I cannot perform that action any more. Is there another way to encrypt it once comments have been anabled?
I am using Acrobat Pro Version 9.2.0 on a Windows 7 machine. I open a PDF with it, selectComments > Enable for COMmenting and Analisys. Then Advanced > Security > Encrypt With Password is greyed out (was not prior to enable comments).

Adobe Reader not recognizing the (correct) password on a password protected document

I have been opening password protected documents with Adobe Reader for months. My client just changed the password, and now, using the correct new password (I'm positive it's the correct password because I can open it on other computers, and no, my caps lock isn't on, and I've tried numerous times so it's not that I'm typing it incorrectly), Adobe is saying that the password is incorrect. Any ideas? I was thinking perhaps because I am on a Mac, or maybe because I have Adobe Reader and not the full version it isn't working... any help much appreciated!

Reader should be fine. you don't need to full version to open password protected documents and a Mac doesn't make any difference either.
Fist thing to be sure of is that it's actually Reader opening the docs and not Mac Preview (or something else).
If it is, maybe try having them assign a different password. A more simplistic one just to see if you can open it.

Password Protecting a Muse page

I made a site in Adobe Muse, and would like to password protect a few pages. Ideally, have to type a password every time the URL is accessed (i.e. if someone copy/pastes the link, they would still have to type the password in). Also, I would like a different username and passwords for each page. If someone knows how to create a directory in Muse also, this might solve all my problems.
Here's Where I Came Up Short So Far:
- First Solution: Using htaccess and htpasswrd
Muse creates all its pages with no subdirectories, and no option to create a subdirectories. Which is how most forums described solving the problem. When I uploaded the 'htaccess' and 'htaccess' files to the domain, it caused an error on the main page.
- Second Solution: Use Widget from Muse-Themes.com
http://widgets-musethemes.businesscatalyst.com/tb005.html
I am willing to drop a few bucks to download this, however, this widget only asks for a password when clicking on the link. It doesn't actually protect the url itself. This means anyone can copy and paste the URL into a browser and it will load with no security.
NOTES
- It doesn't need to be super secure, but would like to not make the URLs easily accessed to the public.
- The pages will have links to a DropBox, which will change every few months. Meaning I'll have to do updates to the site. Would prefer to only have to update my Muse file when this occurs.
Let me know if you need more info, I hope I articulated this semi-clearly. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
You could create all you unprotected pages in one Muse site which you upload to your public folder.
Then create a new Muse site with your protected pages and upload this to a new folder created in your public folder (which you could password protect in CPanel).
Obviously, a bit of a headache having 2 ftp folders for one site, and the menu links. But it works
Hope this helps

Password protecting documents?

Note: If this is in the wrong section I do apologise, I wasn't sure where to put it so opted to take it to the hardware section.
In a nutshell, is there a way to password protect documents or folders? I'm working on an iMac G4 and I was wondering if there was some way to do this or whether it was possible at all.
Thanks!

Hello Lynn-Marie:
There is freeware/shareware that will protect files/documents. Try a Google search and see what appears.
The only program I ever used was "secret folder" from Apimac:

PASSWORD protect an INDIVIDUAL PAGE

IWEB certainly is a useful publishing tool, but I have come up against an issue. Is it possible to password protect an individual page of a site? I can't seem to find a way to do this?

My understanding is no. You can create a second site that is password protected and link to a page within that site. Remember the password protection only works aon pages posted to your .Mac account.

My password protected document will not open up so I can type in my password. Any ideas would be appreciated.

My password protected document will not even start to open up so I can type in my password. Any ideas would be appreciated.
