In today's digital age, data security is paramount. As we store more and more information online, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive documents is crucial. One easy way to add an extra layer of security to your Google Docs is by password protecting them.

Steps to Password Protect Google Doc:

1. Open the Google Doc you want to protect.
2. Click on "File" in the top left corner.
3. Select "Protect Document" and then click on "Set Permissions".
4. Under the "Who Has Access" section, click on "Change".
5. Choose "Specific people" from the drop-down menu.
6. Enter the email addresses of the individuals you want to share the document with.
7. Click on "Send".

Once you have set the permissions for the document, only those individuals with the correct email addresses will be able to access it. This provides an added level of security to your sensitive information.

Remember to choose strong, unique passwords and to update them regularly to protect your data from unauthorized access.
