Enhance your file security by adding password protection to your Roceet transfers. This simple step creates an extra layer of security for your sensitive files.

## Important Security Information

The passwords you create are stored in a secure format that **cannot be reversed by our team**. This high-level security measure means:

- **You are responsible** for remembering and sharing the password with your recipients
- **We cannot assist** with password retrieval if you forget it
- All passwords are **case-sensitive**

## How to Set a Password

**During file upload**
  - Locate the *Password* field at the upload window
  - Enter your desired password

## Password Requirements

Roceet gives you complete flexibility with passwords:
- No length restrictions
- No character requirements
- No complexity rules

However, for best security, we recommend using strong, unique passwords that combine letters, numbers, and special characters.

Remember to share the password with your recipients through a separate, secure communication channel.
