Protect the contents of your Send by optionally configuring a [password for access](#passwords) so that no unintended recipients can see the contained information. For text Sends, you can also optionally require recipients to [toggle visibility](#hide-text) to prevent exposure to unintentional onlookers.
The **Password** and **Hide Text** options are configurable from the Create New Send view, or from the Edit Send views at any time prior to the Send's [deletion]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-lifespan/#deletion-behavior).
## Send Passwords
For any Send, you may configure a password that recipients will be required to enter in order to access its contents. Password-protecting a Send is a good way to ensure the contents of a Send aren't exposed to unintended recipients:

Once you password-protect a Send, you won't be able to view the configured password again, however you can [change](#change-send-passwords) or [remove](#remove-send-password) at any time:
### Change Send Passwords
You can change a Send's password at any time from the **Edit Send** view. Changing a Send's password **will not** require you to enter the previous password. When changing a Send's password, the **Password** field will change to **New Password**:

### Remove Send Passwords
You can remove a Send's password at any time using the {% icon fa-undo %} **Remove Password** menu option. Removing a Send's password **will not** require you to enter the previous password.
## Hide Text
For text Sends, toggle the **When accessing the Send, hide the text by default** option to require recipients to {% icon fa-eye %} **Toggle Visibility** in order to see its contents. Hiding the text on a Send is a good way to ensure the contents of a Send aren't exposed to unintentional onlookers:
