Password Protect Activities

Password protect activities to prevent students from accessing them before you distribute the password. You can set a different password for each activity, or use batch editing to set the same password for multiple activities.

Before you begin

This task is different depending on the version of MindTap used in your class.

If these directions do not match what you see in your class, click MindTap version in the toolbar above and select your MindTap version.

Password protection is available only for gradeable activities. Passwords cannot be set for activities like flashcards, reading activities, and inline activities.

You can set a password when you add an activity to the activities list.

The following steps are for setting or editing a password for activities that are already in the activities list.

  1. At the top of the activities list, turn on Edit .
  2. Select activities.
    • To edit one activity, click edit icon Edit next to the activity.
    • To edit multiple activities, select the activities and click Batch Actions > Edit Settings.
  3. Under Require Password, enter a password.

    The password must be between 6 and 16 characters and contain only letters and numbers.

  4. To view your password, click Show.
  5. Click Save.
