Can You Lock a Google Doc with a Password?

Securing Your Google Docs with Password Protection

Google Docs is a convenient way to collaborate and share documents with others online. However, there may be times when you want to restrict access to a document by adding an extra layer of security. The good news is that you can indeed lock a Google Doc with a password.

Here's how you can do it:

1. Open the Google Doc you want to lock.
2. Click on 'File' in the top menu.
3. Scroll down and select 'Protect document'.
4. Choose 'Set a password to open the document'.
5. Enter a password and confirm it.
6. Click 'OK'.
7. Save your document.

Now, when someone tries to open the Google Doc, they will be prompted to enter the password you've set. This adds a layer of security, especially if you're sharing sensitive information.

Remember to keep your password secure and share it only with trusted individuals.
