# Password Protection for Transactions
### Password Protection for Transactions
If you use the Gift PayFacto application on the terminal in standalone mode (no POS), you can password protect the **Activation** and **Increment** transactions using the administrator password. This security measure prevents the adding of funds or activation of a gift card without the authorization of a supervisor with the administrator password.
If you are using a terminal that communicates with a POS, the application ignores the administrator password requirement.
#### **To protect transactions with the administrator password:**
1. Touch the **Action** button on the main screen. 
2. Touch **Settings**. 
3. Enter the Admin password and touch **OK**.
4. Scroll to the **Set passwords** section, toggle **Password on transactions** to **On** (to the right).
5. Touch the **Back** icon to return to the main screen.
