# Password Encryption

With Password Encryption feature in Click2Export, the users can encrypt the confidential files with a personalized password. Only the templates in PDF format support this feature.

In the Word Templates we need to mention the password encryption type and working.

For standard encryption user can simply insert the password manually as shown in the below screenshot.

**Setting Up Passwords:**

For Advanced Encryption, the user needs to follow this format for text – **{First/Last (A, 4, name)}**

**First/Last** – indicates that characters should be picked from starting first / last

&#x20;**A/a** – indicates that the characters should be Uppercase/lowercase.

**Number (e.g. 4)** – indicates the number characters to be used in the password.

**name** – logical name of the field from where the value will be used.

The format for Date should follow this **{(yyyy, DOB)}**

**yyyy** – Defines the format that should be used in the password. (User can use any supported format for date and time)

**Example**: If the format is as follows: **{First (A, 4, name)} {(yyyy, DOB)}**, and the field values are **"Jack Reacher" and "20/12/1978,"** then the password derived from this format will be: **JACK1978**.

This password combines the first four letters of the name in uppercase with the provided date and time format.

This configuration is needed once, and later it can be used as desired.

The merge option for the PDF format in a Word template combines multiple PDF documents into a single file.

**Note**: Standard Encryption is the default option when the ‘Merge’ option is enabled.
