# Password protected Events

When someone creates an Event, they can choose to protect access with a password. You can identify an Event that requires a password from the locked padlock icon in Events list.

If you select the option to Attend before the Event starts, you are prompted to enter the password. You need to enter the password only once. If you enter the password after you select the option to Attend, you don't need to enter the password when you join the Event.

If you don't register in advance for a password protected Event, but instead attempt to join after it starts, you are prompted to enter the password after you select **Join**.
{% endhint %}

## Requesting access to a password protected Event

If you want to join an Event that's protected by a password, but you don't have the password, you can request it from the host. In the password prompt, select **REQUEST ACCESS**. The host receives an email to notify them that you requested access.
