To protect your bases from unwanted foreign access, you can set any password for each base, which must be entered correctly by any user, including you, to open and subsequently edit the corresponding base.
This is especially useful for group bases that should not be accessible to all group members. Bases in the My Bases section are accessible only to you anyway. There, a password can be useful when you share a base with a group.
Set password for a base
- Switch to the SeaTable home page.
- Hover the mouse over the Base for which you want to set a password.
- Click on the three dots that appear on the right.
- Click Set Password.
- Set a password for the Base.
- Enter the password a second time and confirm with Submit.
Set password
After you click Set password, a window will open where you can set a password with any number of letters, numbers or special characters. Enter the password in the provided field and repeat it in the second field. If necessary, use the two options and to the right of the first input field to display the entered password or generate a random password.
Password protected base
Bases that are password protected are always marked with a lock icon on the home page.
To gain access to a password-protected Base, each user must first enter the password correctly. For this purpose, a window opens automatically when trying to access the Base, in which the Base password must be entered.
As soon as you have entered the password for a Base correctly, you have access to the Base. Access is maintained even if you leave the base or reload the page. However, if you close the page completely, you will be asked to enter the base password again the next time you try to access the base.
Change password
To change the Base password, simply follow the way to set a password and click Change Password.
After you have clicked on Change password, a new window opens in which you can assign a new password for the corresponding base. To change the Base password, you must also enter the current password. As soon as you confirm the change of the password with Submit, the newly set base password is active.
Cancel password
To cancel an existing password for a Base, also follow the way described above and click Cancel Password.
A window will then open in which you must enter the current Base password. Confirm the cancellation of the password with Submit.
After you have successfully cancelled the Base password, Base can be opened again without entering a password. Therefore, Base is no longer marked with a lock icon on the home page.
