Password Protect using Forms:

Google Forms is a great tool for assessments. One issue that came up in our digital learning environment is giving Quizzes/Tests that students can only access in class with teacher permission. The way we work around this is to password protect these quizzes/tests. Here’s how:

1. Create a text question called "Password:" .

2. Select Advanced Settings from the bottom left corner. Then select Data Validation.

3. Select Text and Contains

.

4. Put your Password in the TEXT field. 

Custom error text allows you to create a message that appears if the password is typed incorrectly.

Final note: I post my quiz on the page after the password. The Add section button at the right allows you to create a second page to your form.
