    Hi all,

     

    I just wanted to pop-in and let you know that we are looking at password protected links now. We don't have a timeframe that we can share yet but this is definitely a feature we want to get into everyone's hands. Thanks!

I see it...well, the number of votes is quite high but I guess more votes are required so the status can change to Accepted suggestion

      Stephen,

      We're coming up on a year since you said you were working on this.

      Any update?  I don't understand why this isn't a huge priority...

      So please respond with an update. 

      Thank you

        Hi Kyle,

        We've been making great progress and will have more to share soon. We've been focused primarily on the new secure externals sharing flow that we just announced at Ignite. You can check out a preview of that in the Jeff Teper SharePoint and OneDrive keynote and the Jason Moore OneDrive Past, Present and Future session from yesterday.

        Thanks!

        If the password was sent by some other mechanism it would mean something
