Allow password-protected hosting, and hosting from a non-Adobe server
These two features would go a LONG way to making Publish Online a viable format for professional publishing. I'm sure many clients would pay an extra fee (nothing outrageous) for a self-hosted solution, if that would be necessary for Adobe to commit resources to make this happen.

additional related thought... currently anything I publish with the Publish Online feature is tied strictly to MY Adobe ID. This makes it not a great solution for publishing anything mission critical for my company. If I leave the company, so does access to those published documents, unless I share my login credentials with other people, which is obviously a security no-no.

I love the concept of publish online, and use it in a number of instances when I need something quickly accessible via a web browser. However, because I can't password protect or otherwise restrict access, I have to be cautious not to publish proprietary company information this way. If I could export to this format, but host the files on our company intranet with it's existing access control, that would open up a number of possibilities when publishing training material and other sensitive information.

Our government, academic, and corporate clients (and us too!) would love this...but the files can't be uploaded to someone's cloud server...not even Adobe's.
They'd be willing to pay for a self-hosted edition of Publish Online.
In fact, I'd bet that this feature would revolutionize the publishing world, just as Acrobat did 30 years ago.
Think about it, Adobe.

Password protect would really help issues we have - and combining it with a short link generation

Is there a way to publish a book file? It seems I can only publish one file but not a compilation. Is this true?
Yes, and really need the password protect feature.
Very much needed. -

I would like the password feature added to Publish Online. I have 2 clients that won’t use it unless they have password protection

@Abhinav Kaushik, Please speed up this feature and give us a date for this to be added. It would be extremely helpful.
Also please make a option to update an existing publish online link from any other adobe id/system/account.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

One of the first things many clients ask us is 'can we password protect it?' and 'is this secure?'.
That tells you that the unique link isn't a secure enough option on its own. -

Please update this feature. It is desperately needed for interactive PDF's to ever really take off.

Hi... I see in InDesign 2021 there is the option to put a password on "share for review"... This surprised me a little as I have been wanting this feature on publish for a long time and it has not been created... When can we see this feature in InDesign Publish settings?
I also see a lot of comments below asking for updates since the last time someone from Adobe commented nearly 2 years ago... I really think it is time for an update
