Incorrect file password
A password-protected file/download gate rejected the submitted access password. API text: Incorrect file password. The UI often maps this to the shorter Incorrect password.
Why this happens
verifyPassword against the file’s accessPasswordHash failed. Owner signed-in viewers and already-verified cookie sessions bypass the gate. Empty submit is usually Enter the file password / “file is password protected.”
Diagnose and fix
1. Re-enter the password from the uploader (caps lock / wrong file link).
2. Owner: edit the file password and share the new one.
3. Open the link while signed in as the owner to bypass.
4. Wait if password-attempt rate limits apply; network failures show Could not verify password.
