add extra password for hidden photos in icloud

Once I'm logged into my iPhone with a password and go into my Photos, I still am asked for a password or thumbprint AGAIN to access my hidden photos. I like this, but why isn't the same extra layer of protection for hidden photos provided for iCloud. Once I'm into iCloud, I can access hidden photos just by clicking on "Show Hidden Photos." I would like to be able to create a password, just for hidden photos. Just in case my photos are inadvertently open on my computer, another person would not be able to access hidden photos.


Thanks!

Yes, But similarly you need a password or other ID to get into your iPhone to view photos. But once you’re in Photos, there is that extra layer of protection for your hidden photos. Why not that same layer of extra protection for hidden photos on the cloud once you have authenticated. That’s all we’re asking for.
