Can you put a password on a Claude artifact?
Claude's help article doesn't describe a password option: you share an artifact with only you, anyone with the link, or people you invite by email, who need a Claude account. rtfx.pro doesn't use passwords either — each person you choose signs in with a one-time email code, you can remove one person without affecting the others, and you see who opened it.
Why a shared password is weak
- It can be forwarded, and nothing records who it was forwarded to.
- Shutting one person out means changing it for everyone.
- On its own, a shared password doesn't identify who opened the page.
What rtfx.pro does instead
- Named people.
Share it with dana@acme.com.
Dana signs in with a code sent to that address — no password, no Claude account — and you can remove her at any time. - Share links, when names aren't practical. A share link opens for anyone who has it. Each one has a name, can expire, can be revoked on its own without touching the others, and opens through it are logged.
- Your workspace. Members of the workspace you publish to can always open it — on a personal workspace that's just you.
Every artifact is private when it is published: only you, and members of its workspace if it belongs to a team, can open it until you share it.
Questions
Can I put a password on a Claude artifact?
Claude's help article on sharing artifacts doesn't describe a password option. With rtfx.pro you don't need one: the people you choose sign in with a one-time email code. Only they, members of the artifact's workspace and holders of a valid share link you created can open it.
Does rtfx.pro use passwords on links?
No. It has named access (email-code sign-in for each person) and share links that anyone holding them can open, with an optional expiry and immediate revocation.
Do the people I share with need a Claude account?
No. They sign in with a one-time code sent to their email, or open a share link with no sign-in.
