Candidates to create password-protected groups

When you allow candidates to create password-protected groups, there is an extra level of security after they enter their four-digit pin. Password-protected groups require a password for anyone to join an existing group. Anyone can create a group but only those who have the password for a group can join the group.

The password must be distributed to the intended group members by the person who created the group, although any member can produce a new password. Candidates can join and leave groups at will but must have the password for any group they want to join.
