# Password Protection

To add password protection, simply add a text field to your table with the name `Documint Password` (note the spelling of “Documint”). The value entered in that field will be the password to protect documents for that record.

When the user clicks this link they will see this screen the first time they try to access the document or if the password is changed in Airtable.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**PLEASE NOTE**

Password protection only applies when the Shared Link is used, not to the PDF itself. If the PDF is downloaded and saved in another location, the password screen will not be shown, and the PDF can be readily opened.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.documint.me/integrations/airtable/password-protection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
