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.

@Abhinav Kaushik, Please I would like to know about this asap. My client doesn't want to use Adobe host.

@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

How is this progressing? It's been a very long time but this feature is still wanted.

this is the reason why our company has declined to get us licenses for Publish. we are a company of 93,000 worldwide employees. even a fraction of that is a substantial amount of licenses, even just for our Graphic Designers to have. you're losing money by not making this work ASAP. just sayin'.

I just tried using the Review share option and people are saying they need a password to access the link. I don't see how to create a password and it's very aggravating when I thought I could just share them a link.

I just got right to the end of a long project and the client is suddenly worried about protecting the final document (for good reason). Now I'm scrambling to find a way to reproduce the whole project with password protection. Right now I'm at a giant un-emailable PDF without all the animations. Very frustrating!!!

Provide the option to password protect documents published online through Indesign....WHY? Because, often designers (in any industry) need to send proposals of prototypes or designs to suppliers and producers and the information inside is sensitive and strictly confidential. The Adobe InDesign publish online feature is a great way to distribute online pdf presentations to people quickly, however, the no password protection option lets it down. Other platforms, such as Vimeo, allow you to publish content that is private....so should Adobe Indesign.

This would be a great feature and enable businesses to publish documents online whilst maintaining privacy and security for their clients.

Hello, Any traction on this? The last word from Adobe was almost one year ago to the day. Did I miss something? Thank you. @abhinavagarwal

Protect the presentations on PublishOnline with a password. Within a company it's often required to send password-protected presentations.
