How do I protect the downloaded file with a password?

When you choose the PDF or Excel format, an optional password field appears on the print page. If you enter a password, the file will be protected with strong encryption (AES-256) and the password will be asked for when the file is opened. The buttons next to the field suggest a strong password and copy it to the clipboard.

A password-protected file is a safe way to hand the signatures over, for example by email to the decision-makers. Deliver the password through a different channel than the file itself: if you send the file by email, give the password for example by phone or in a text message.

If you forget the password, the file cannot be opened by anyone, so store the password carefully.
