The Keynote app lets you create engaging presentations for personal and professional purposes. And if your presentation includes some confidential information, keeping that information secure is your top priority. Maybe it’s a school project you want to avoid being copied or a company presentation that includes key points and statistics.
Fortunately, the Keynote app provides a built-in option to add a password to your presentation file. The best part is that you can do it on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Here’s how to add a password to a Keynote presentation file on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Add a password to a Keynote presentation on Mac
By default, it’s normal to use the Keynote presentation file on your Mac when you want to add a password. However, we recommend updating the Keynote app to the latest version before continuing with the steps.

Step 2: Open the Keynote file.
Step 3: Click File in the top left corner.
Step 4: Select Set password.
Step 5: Enter the password and re-enter to verify.
You can check the box next to ‘Open with Touch ID’ if your Mac model supports the feature.
Step 6: Click Set Password.
Step 7: Press the keyboard shortcut Command + S to save the changes.
Your Keynote file is now password protected that needs to be imported even for small changes like resizing slides.
To access your file, double-click it and enter your password, or use Face ID to open it.

Secure your Keynote files
Whenever you have something important to present using Keynote, securing your files with a password is a good option. But sometimes, when someone else needs to access your Keynote file, you might miss out on sharing the password. Additionally, in some cases, there is an issue with the Mac’s availability to use Keynote files.
In such cases, it’s better to share your Keynote file in a more widely supported format. That’s why we covered a post that lists the steps to convert a Keynote file to video on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
