Secure playlist protection: Your content is visible only to authorized users

Not everything displayed on your screens is intended for the general public. With SignageNow, you have full control: simply protect your playlists with a username and password lock. This ensures that sensitive information, internal metrics, or exclusive offers stay exactly where they belong.

Optional password protection

Why use password protection for digital signage?

Digital signage is no longer used solely for advertising in storefronts. More and more companies are using screens for internal communication. This often involves information that shouldn’t be seen by every passerby or unauthorized third party:

  • Internal dashboards: Display key performance indicators (KPIs) in your office, protected from prying eyes.
  • Employee information: Meal plans, internal events, or birthdays in break rooms.
  • Exclusive customer content: Digital content that should only be visible in restricted areas (e.g., VIP lounges or conference rooms).

Security on SignageNow is that simple

We’ve made protecting your content as straightforward as possible. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to secure your playlist. You don’t need to be an IT expert to keep your data safe:

  1. Enable lock: Select the desired playlist in your SignageNow account.
  2. Set a password: Create a custom password to protect access.
  3. Secure playback: When you access the playlist (e.g., in your smart TV’s browser), a secure prompt will appear. Your content will only start playing after you enter your login credentials.
