How to Password Protect Google Sheets

If you are looking to enhance the security of your Google Sheets and protect sensitive information, password protecting your sheets is a crucial step. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to do so:

1. Open your Google Sheet that you want to password protect.
2. Click on 'File' in the top menu, then select 'Protect sheet.'
3. Choose the range of cells that you want to protect. You can select specific ranges or the entire sheet.
4. Set permissions for the selected range, including who can edit, view, or comment on the sheet.
5. Click on 'Set permissions,' then enter a password to protect the sheet.
6. Confirm the password and click 'Done.'

Once you have completed these steps, your Google Sheet will be password protected, and only individuals with the password will be able to access it.

It is important to choose a strong password that is not easily guessable to ensure the security of your information.
