Table Of Contents The security preferences give you the option of having iKeeper automatically create new files with no encryption or to prompt you for a password to secure your data when running in Mac OS X. Unlocked files open and save faster and are fully compatible with prior versions of iKeeper 2. In addition to this, unlocked files can also be opened in any version of iKeeper 2 running on Mac OS 8.6 or Mac OS 9 (if supported). Locked files are encrypted with your password. You will only be able to open them in iKeeper 2.2 or later running on Mac OS X. If you forget your password, your data will be lost forever. However locked files do offer some advantages. If you are an iBook or PowerBook user you may consider password protecting your files for added security in case your Mac is stolen. If you use a Mac in an environment where others may have access to it and haven't set up multiple user accounts, or frequently forget to log out, the added security of password protection will help to ensure that your data remains safe from prying eyes. When opening a locked file in iKeeper, you will be prompted to enter your password. Once the correct password has been given, iKeeper will decrypt and display your data. iKeeper remembers your password as long as your file remains open. This enbales iKeeper to automatically save any changes you make without having to ask for your password each time. You can also manually set or remove a password at any time when your file is open. For more information on how to do this, check out the Password topic in the Internet and Product iKeeper help sections. | ||
