Is there a way to enter password in protected video on Vimeo

[etaranov]

I want to protect my videos on Vimeo using password, but allow users of my site to watch embedded videos without entering password. Is there a way to send keypress events to enter password in onLoad page event?

In short, no. Even if it were possible it wouldn't be recommendable, as then your password is stored in plain text on the website for anyone who visits your page to view. If you don't mind that, though, then you might as well provide the password below the video.

If Vimeo allows it you might be able to allow certain referrers to view videos without a password, but that would require more research on Vimeo's end of things.

I don't know of anything else that might work in this specific scenario.

zizmat, thank you for reply.

I don't mind about password. I am making it very simple and providing password below the video for now. But in this case user has to type it. The idea was to enter it automatically, for example in JS.

Unfortunately for me Vimeo don't provide any API to specify password in embedded object or in JS interface to it.

Has anyone work with custom player for Vimeo?
