Testing password-protected Figma files – Maze Help

If you’re on the Organization plan, you can import password-protected Figma files.

During the import, you’ll need to input the prototype password. You’ll also need to provide testers with the password, as they’ll need to enter it to access the prototype.

Note: The solution outlined in this article is a temporary measure to allow your team to test password-protected files. A more robust solution will be released in the future.

Who can use this feature

Testing password-protected Figma files is available to users on the Organization plan.

Current limitations

Incognito mode is not supported. If participants open the maze in an incognito window, they’ll be able to input the password, but they won’t have access to the prototype.
Safari is not supported. Participants won’t be able to test password-protected prototypes on Safari. Instead, they should use Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
You must be an Editor in Figma to import a password-protected prototype.

Setting up a maze with a password-protected prototype

When testing a maze with a password-protected prototype, it’s fundamental that you share the password with your participants.

This is critical for panel orders, where participants would otherwise be prevented from taking the test.

Some ways you can include the password in the maze:

Include it in the mission description.
For additional emphasis, include the password information on a context screen before the prototype block.

If you change the password after sending the maze live, don’t forget to edit the instructions in the maze as well. Otherwise, participants will still see the old password in the instructions.

Importing a password-protected prototype

To import a password-protected prototype:

Create a prototype test block and import your prototype.
Click Enter Password in the preview panel.
In the pop-up, enter the prototype password and click Continue.
After entering the password, you’ll see the prototype and can start setting up paths.

Interacting with a password-protected prototype

Please note:

Incognito mode is not supported.
Safari is not supported. To test password-protected prototypes, participants should use Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.

Here’s how a password-protected prototype looks like to testers:

Upon starting the mission, they should click the Enter Password button.
A pop-up will open. In this pop-up, participants should enter the provided password and click Continue.
Once that is done, they’ll be able to interact with the screens to complete the task.
