Create a free client galleryA password or PIN is a simple, visible privacy signal. It reduces accidental access if a link is forwarded, opened on a shared device, or discovered in a browser history.
Password protection does not solve everything. It will not prevent screenshots, and it cannot control what happens after a client shares access intentionally. The goal is to lower risk and make consent easier to honor.
The safest pattern is invite-based access plus a password or PIN. Invite links can expire and can be turned off later, which matters for intimate work where consent can change over time.
Use the password as a second layer, not as your only gate. If the invite is the key and the password is the lock, you can disable either one when needed.
Use a per-client password or PIN, not a studio-wide password. Reused passwords get forwarded and reused, which weakens discretion over time.
Keep it easy to type on a phone. A short PIN or a simple passphrase is better than something complex that leads to support requests and client frustration.
Your proofing settings matter as much as the password. When proof downloads are off and favorites are easy, clients can choose calmly without worrying about accidental distribution.
If you watermark proofs, keep it subtle. Heavy watermarks can make clients feel like they are doing something wrong just by viewing their own images.
Many boudoir clients want privacy first and sharing later. Treat partner access like an optional second step, not the default.
If partner access is enabled, use a separate invite that can expire. That keeps the client in control and avoids one shared password turning into unlimited, permanent access.
Explain privacy settings in plain language. Clients should know who can view the gallery, how long access lasts, and what to do if they want to change sharing later.
The best message is short: how to access, what happens next, and how to reach you if something feels off. Clarity builds trust.
Is a password enough to keep boudoir galleries private?
A password helps, but the safest workflow also uses invite-based access you can revoke. Combine passwords with expiring invites and clear access controls.
Should I use the same password for every client?
No. Reused passwords are likely to be forwarded and reused. Use a per-client password or PIN and change it if access ever needs to be revoked.
Do passwords prevent screenshots?
No. Passwords control access to the gallery, not what a viewer can do once they are inside. Use proof download controls, watermarks when appropriate, and clear expectations to reduce risk.
What is the safest way to add partner access later?
Enable a separate invite link that can expire and can be disabled later. Keep the client as the primary viewer and make partner access an explicit choice.
