We have wrote in the past how to secure your Merlin projects when wanting them to be accessed over the web by a supported web browser.

Are you wondering how to proceed when requiring password protected access over the iPhone or iPad app?

The answer is… very similar to how you do for web sharing and access.
On your Mac with Merlin for Mac OS X…

• You create a resource in case you haven’t one already in your project.
• You enable its ‘is user’ flag and enter a password.
• You enable the project setting ‘hide from anonymous users’ for more privacy.
• Save your project and enable iPhone sharing.

On your Merlin app on the iPhone or iPad

• You ‘login’ by the appropriate user and password first
• you see Merlin Server refreshing its list up authentication
• and tap the project afterwards to access it from your app.

BTW… Should you forget your password and log yourself out of the file, you can always send it to us, so we can reset your password. To legitimate yourself for having full access to the project, we recommend you always include you as resource in the project, enter your email address and state your role as its PM.
