Password-Protected Albums

One of the beneficial features a Photobucket subscription provides is Password-Protected Albums. This feature allows you to share your private albums selectively by providing you with an option to create unique passwords when sharing them.

Note: When creating a password for an album, the password will only apply to the album you are currently viewing. You will need to create separate passwords for the sub-albums under that album.

There are three ways to access the Details page of your album to add a password.

Adding a password when viewing the album

1. Select the album you want to add a password to
2. Click the Privacy icon in the upper-left corner next to the album title and select Password Protected.
3. Enter a password, then click Save

You can also add a password while viewing the album by clicking the i icon in the upper-right corner. This will bring up the album's Details page.

Adding a Password from My Albums Page

1. Click My Albums on the left side of the page
2. Find the album you want to add a password to
3. Click on the checkmark on the top-left of the album, then click the i icon in the toolbar.
4. Click on Password, then click CREATE PASSWORD
5. Enter a title for your password, then create a password for the album.
6. Click Save.

You may have to refresh the page if you are not seeing the new password you just created.

Adding a Password from the Albums list

1. On the left-hand side of the page, you will see your album list
2. Locate the album you want to set to password protected, then click on the three dots to the right of the album name
3. Select Album Details, then click Password
4. Click CREATE PASSWORD
5. Enter a title for your password, then create a password for the album
6. Click Save.

You may have to refresh the page if you are not seeing the new password you just created.

Managing your Album's Passwords

To manage your album password

1. Open the album and click the i icon at the upper-right of the page
2. Under Passwords, click the Edit icon to edit your password.

You can not delete a password. If you no longer want the album to be password protected, you can always change the album privacy settings to Private.

Note: There is no longer an option to create multiple passwords for a password-protected album.
