## Result

The system no longer enforces a password when creating public share links.
- **`OC_SHARING_PUBLIC_SHARE_MUST_HAVE_PASSWORD=false`**: The system no longer enforces a password when creating public share links (both read-only and writable).
- **`OC_SHARING_PUBLIC_WRITEABLE_SHARE_MUST_HAVE_PASSWORD=true`**: If the first variable is set to `false`, this option allows you to still enforce passwords specifically for writable public shares while keeping read-only shares password-free.

:::note
This change applies globally to all public shares created after the restart.
