## Overview

This example demonstrates how to configure [Web Entry in Start Events](/v1/docs/start-event#web-entry-panel-settings). This example demonstrates enhanced security by using the **Enable Password Protect** setting in the Start Event element's Web Entry that requires the Request starter to enter a password to display the Web Entry [Screen](/v1/docs/screens). This use case can be useful to update this secure-level password every week, for example.

Follow these guidelines to use the **Enable Password Protect** setting for a Web Entry in a [Start Event](/v1/docs/start-event) element:

1. Design a [Form-type](/v1/docs/screens#form-1) Screen with two [Line Input](/v1/docs/line-input-control) controls and a [Submit Button](/v1/docs/submit-button-control) control.
2. Use the **Variable Name** setting values for the Line Input controls as **Code** and **Name** respectively as shown below. For this example, exclude the value for the Line Input control that has the **Variable Name** setting `Code`.

3. Design a Process with the following elements:

  - [Start Event](/v1/docs/start-event) element using Web Entry
  - [Form Task](/v1/docs/form-task) element
  - [End Event](/v1/docs/end-event) element

4. Assign your created Screen to the Start Event element as Web Entry and the Form Task element.
5. Configure the Web Entry in the Start Event element as follows:

  1. In the **Mode** setting, select **Anonymous**.
  2. In the **Screen Associated** setting, select a screen to display for the Web Entry.
  3. In the **Completed Action** setting, select **Screen**.
  4. In the **Screen For Completed** setting, select a screen after the Web Entry screen submit.
  5. Check the **Enable Password Protect** setting, the **Password Protect** setting displays.
  6. In the **Password Protect** setting, enter a password.
  7. In the **Web Entry URL** setting, click **Copy** to use the URL to start a Request.

  8. Start a Request of this Process.

When starting a Request through this Start Event element using the **Enable Password Protect** option, the Web Entry URL displays the **Protected** screen to enter the configured password.
