How to Protect Your Links with a Password

Haris — Wed, 20 May 2026 09:13:47 +0000

Protecting your short links in Trakio allows you to control access and ensure only users with the correct password can reach your destination URL. This feature is useful for private content, client resources, or restricted access links.

Step 1: Log in to Your Trakio Account

Open the login page and sign in to your dashboard:

Trakio Login

Step 2: Open the Links Section

After logging in:

Go to the sidebar menu
Click on “Links”
Select “Create Link”

Step 3: Create a Password-Protected Link

Fill in the required fields:

Destination URL
Short Link

Scroll down to the Privacy section.

There you will find the option:

Password Protect (toggle)

Enable the toggle, then:

Enter your desired password in the password field

Finally, click Create Link.

Step 4: What Happens After Creation

Once the link is created:

Users opening the link will see a password screen first
They must enter the correct password to access the original URL
The system is secured by Trakio Secure, which includes:
- Rate limiting protection
- Bot protection
- Access control safeguards

Step 5: Edit an Existing Link

If the link already exists, you can still modify it:

Open the Links list
Click the Edit button on the specific link
Scroll to the Privacy section
Enable Password Protect and set or update the password
Save changes

Step 6: Remove Password Protection

To disable password protection:

Open the link in Edit mode
Turn off the Password Protect toggle
Save the changes

After this, the link will become publicly accessible again.

How I Fit Flappy Bird into a Single QR Code

Haris — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 18:56:49 +0000

Discover how Flappy Bird fits inside a single QR code using a Python tool, data URI, and minimalist HTML/JS design — scan to play instantly.

It started with a quiet thought, one that refused to leave my head:

What is the absolute smallest place a real game can live?

Not a download. Not a website link. The game itself.

I picked Flappy Bird. Why? Because it doesn’t lie. If gravity feels off, you notice. If collision fails, the illusion breaks. If timing is off, it’s unplayable.

If this game survived compression, it meant the idea worked.

Step One: Breaking Comfort

QR codes hate comfort.

They hate images.
They hate libraries.
They hate anything that isn’t essential.
So I stopped thinking like a web developer and started thinking like a machine.
No sprites
No fonts
No frameworks

The bird became a shape. The pipes became rectangles. The sky became a color fill. Everything was drawn inside a single

element.

Here’s a glimpse of the code skeleton:

<canvas id="c" width="320" height="480"></canvas>
<script>
b = { y: 220, v: 0 }; // Bird
p = [];                // Pipes

function loop() {
  // gravity
  // pipes
  // collision
}

loop();
</script>

Notice something? That’s all I’m showing. Enough to hint at the game — but not enough to give it away.

Step Two:

I could tell you how I handled gravity, pipes, collisions, scoring… but then the secret would be gone.

This experiment is about precision, compression, and ingenuity. Every character mattered. Every symbol had a cost.

This tool is not limited to games. It can package any kind of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript — from demos and experiments to landing pages, interactive tools, or visual ideas — directly into a single QR code.

The game fits entirely inside a single QR code. No downloads. No fetching. Just scan. Tap. Play.

If you’re curious how I made it happen, and want to see the full story, complete with the Python tool and the actual game code, you can read it here:
