What's a password-protecting file? I'm not sure what that is and where I can find it in my game's directory?

This isn't even the full version of my game, just the demo

I'm working on a visual novel using Renpy 8.2.3 and I exported three versions of it (pc, mac and web), early on development I did password-restrict the project to protect my own privacy and keep the whole thing between me and my friends, also I wanted to test the project before putting it out there- I mean if that was the case then...??? I was just using the features ya'll made available 

I'm not aiming to make money from my project, the demo still gets downloads cause I have a blog for it and I did share it amongst friends and mutuals online 

I did email support and I'm still waiting for a response (ticket is 254256)

I can live with it not being searchable but I don't want people to think I'm some kind of scammer when they try to download the game I've been working on for 16 weeks cause I'm not, I'm not a bot nor do I use AI or had stole assets, I used accurate tags and shared the demo links around online

"Suspicious behaviour"

What did I do? Is it my region/ip?

That refers to the act of password-protecting a file. Is that something you did with the uploads on your project?

To the file or exe? No 

But for the page of the game early on I did restrict it with a password cause I'm new to this and I wanted to test out the uploading process and web play, also I wanted to keep the project private between me and my friends at the time

Anyway, I've let our admins know.

Should be taken care of now. Sorry for any inconvenience.
