Passwords, PINs and private photos

A gallery can have a few different locks. All of them are set by your photographer, so they are the person to ask.

• Password. Anyone opening the gallery has to enter it.
• Email to view. You see the cover, then leave an email address before the photos open.
• Download PIN. A code needed to save photos — one at a time or the whole gallery at once. Looking does not need it.
• Couple-only photos. Some photos open only after someone enters the email address your photographer has on file for you. Type it in and they unlock.

Couple-only photos stay out of an ordinary guest’s way, but anyone who knows your address could type it in. If there is a photo you would rather no guest came across, ask your photographer to hide it instead. A hidden photo is not in the gallery at all.

Galleries are never listed by search engines. Only people with the link can find yours.
