A password-protected file can still be exposed by a compromised password, a forwarded link, or an account that remains active after a business relationship changes. That is why Multi-Factor Authentication matters for sensitive documents. It adds a second proof of identity before a recipient gains access to high-value information—but it should be only the beginning of a document-security strategy.
