Password protect Markdown on drophost
- Starter and Pro
- Works with .md prompts and skills
- Change or remove the password anytime
How to do it
1. Upload the .md file on a paid plan
Password protection is on Starter and Pro.
2. Set a password
Require a passphrase before the file opens.
3. Share URL and password separately
Reduce risk if the link is forwarded alone.
Ideal for paid digital goods
Prompt packs, Claude skills, and internal agent instructions stay off casual forwards when the password travels separately from the URL. Replace the file for updates without changing the buyer or teammate bookmark. Change or remove the passphrase anytime from the project settings.
Still a normal browser link
Recipients open the HTTPS URL, enter the password, and get the file—no portal signup. That keeps fulfillment simple after Gumroad or Stripe checkout and works the same for internal team notes you do not want indexed or casually forwarded.
What paid plans include
Password protection ships with Starter (8 projects, 100 MB) and Pro (30 projects, 500 MB), plus PDF, custom domains, analytics, and branding removal. Markdown itself uploads on Free within 2 MB, but the gate requires a paid plan. Links stay until you delete the project.
