    Hi @Ilyas Novruzlu

    According to the documentation below, this feature is available for SharePoint Server 2019. The only way to share with a password is to create a share with Anyone with this link. If this option is greyed out, you will need to have a SharePoint administrator change the external user settings.

    Hi @Ilyas Novruzlu ,

    As Dillon said, you need to enable 'Anyone with the link' to set a password there.
