Shared passwords are used to keep content private without needing profile data. This is typically used when there are no profiles or the need for profile-related features (e.g. Activity Feed, Profile List etc.), but event app content cannot be publicly accessible.
Please note
To use any profile-related app features such as the activity feed or in-app badge, attendees must be logged into the app with a profile or registered via the in-app signup form.
A shared password allows all attendees to enter the same password/code to access app content.
This may be a simple way to protect the event app from non-attendees accessing app content, however, it is not a very secure access method. Shared passwords can be easily obtained and anyone can access the event app. If you require a more secure login method, it is recommended to use profile login, as this requires unique login credentials for each individual attendee.
TIP:
If you have an embedded app, attendees will be required to enter both the event code AND shared password with this attendee access method. This makes app access slightly more secure.
