Meta data/File info?

I'm not sure if those 2 names are the same but I'm still wondering
When you're on Photoshop you can File>File info..., that to me looks like a way to add a credit to your works, the credit would even show up for a .png file. But it seems like there's no way to lock it? If i share my files to somebody else with the Credit/File info thing on, they can still go in and edit it out, aka they can steal my works.
So yeah I'm basically asking if there's anyway to lock the File info/Credit thing 😅

No there isn't a way to lock metadata (and yes, File > File Info is metadata).

Dang that's sad to hear, any suggests on how I can give credits to my files then?
And thank you!

Despite being unsupported in some file formats and stripped out by various processes, always use metadata. You can also use visible and invisible watermarking systems.
