Do you want to make sure your important documents created in Pages, Keynote, or Numbers are safe and secure? If so, you may want to encrypt them with a secure password, which will protect the document from unauthorized access. If you’re looking to password protect your iWork documents, macOS makes it pretty easy.
The Pages, Keynote, and Numbers apps are all part of Apple’s iWork productivity suite that’s relied on by millions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS users alike to work on important documents. Normally, the documents that you create or edit using these apps can be opened and accessed by anyone who has access to your Mac, or who has access to the files themselves. However, there’s an option that allows you to set a password for your documents which may come in handy if you’re sharing your Mac with other people, or if you’re sharing sensitive files with others, perhaps with colleagues or family members.
Let’s take a look at how you can lock your iWork documents away from prying eyes, and walk through the steps required to password protect your Pages, Keynote, and Numbers documents right from your Mac.
