Link password sharing issues

Question

Hi,We have been using Box Enterprise’s password-protected link sharing feature for many years now without any problem.In the last few weeks though, we’ve been running into problems where the password set doesn’t work later on when shared with clients.Has anything changed recently with this feature that could be causing issues? E.g. new security requirements or settings that could be disrupting our workflow? Thanks
