Password Applied to All Worksheets Confrimation Prompt

[snsd]

Hi:

I found the following macro on this site which allows you to place
password on every sheet in a workbook. It works great. The only thing
would like to add is a second prompt to confirm the password - the sam
way that you are prompted to verify the password when you select Tool
-> Protection -> Protect Worksheet. I don't want to accidentally appl
an incorrect password to all my sheets and then forget it! (Note:
obviously only want to have to confirm it once - and not for ever
sheet!)

Thanks in advance for your help.


Sub PasswordAppliedToAllSheets()
Dim myPwd As String
Dim wks As Worksheet

myPwd = InputBox(prompt:="Please enter the password to protect al
sheets.")

If Trim(myPwd) = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If

For Each wks In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If wks.ProtectContents _
Or wks.ProtectDrawingObjects _
Or wks.ProtectScenarios Then
'already protected
Else
wks.Protect Password:=myPwd
End If
Next wks

End Su

Sub PasswordAppliedToAllSheets()
Dim myPwd As String

Dim myPwd2 As String 'added this line

Dim wks As Worksheet

myPwd = InputBox(prompt:="Please enter the password to protect all
sheets.")

If Trim(myPwd) = "" Then
Exit Sub

Else 'added this line
myPwd2 = InputBox(prompt:="Please reenter your password.") 'added this line

End If

If myPwd <> myPwd2 then 'added this IF statement
msgbox "Passwords didn't match. Please try again later."
exit sub
End if

Why not hard code the password into the sub

Sub PasswordAppliedToAllSheets()
Dim myPwd As String
Dim wks As Worksheet

myPwd = "Password"
For Each wks In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
'Rest of code
