Creating a Password Protected Public Tag: iOS

Glympse allows the ability to create password protected public tags. The password protected tag ensures that only users who know the designated password will be able to share their location to your map.

Properties of a Password Protected Tag:

• A password protected tag is a tag that requires a password in order to share to that tag.

• The password protected tag is still viewable by anybody, but only those who know the password can share their location to the tag. 

You can assign a password to a tag by simply appending a password enclosed by curly brackets “{ }” at the end of the tag name. For example, if you want to create the password protected tag "FamilyRoadTrip" with the password "SEATTLE", you would enter FamilyRoadTrip{SEATTLE} in the field where you specify the tag name. Anyone who attempted to join the tag FamilyRoadTrip would need to include the password in brackets in order to show up on the map.

There are a couple of things to know about using this feature:

1. The password is only enabled if you are the first person in the tag when adding the password portion to the tag name.
2. Currently the password cannot be changed once it's set, so be sure to keep track of the password to avoid headaches later.
