i’d like to share a full base but still having a password and still read only so people won’t be able to copy the base to their own nocodb automatically
Share base is possible. Enabling password is supported only for Shared view, not for shared base.
Can you elaborate more on your use case?
my use case is digital gardening: basically using nocodb as a personal website 
i could show the whole base to my friends without worrying about bots etc
i know it’s not a priority for a business focused software, but i also posted that i would pay a one time personal site license tbf! Notion alternatives all lack on the table features side and those are my favorites, hence why i’m kinda trying to imagine nocodb as a notion alternative for me
