Authentication (login/logout)
You have to enter your username and password each time you want to access your data.
Username
A username provides additional data protection. However, it has no encryption purpose. A username is stored openly and can be easily read by anyone.
Password
A password is the main authentication tool. It is one-way encrypted in
the program. It means that you cannot decrypt it. The password is also
a data encryption key. If you do not know the password, you will not
be able to decrypt and access your data.
Attention: if you forget your password, you will not be able
to access your data. There are no magic words or tricks to get the password or
access the data.
Logging in when the program is started
When you start the program, it tries to open the last file. If it does
it successfully, you will see the Login dialog box. If you enter
the username and password correctly, the datafile will be opened
and ready for work.
If the last datafile cannot be opened for some reason, you will see
the Database Management dialog box (see Opening
a datafile when the program is started).
Logging in from the main window
To get access to the data from the main program window (for example,
if you are logged out), you should select the File|Login menu
item. The Login dialog box will appear (the last datafile will
be opened).
See Logging in when the program is started.
Logging out from the main window
To finish a datafile session without closing the program, you should
select the File|Logout menu item. SecureSafe Pro remains open,
but you will have to enter your username and password to continue
your work.
Logging out due to inactivity
Logging out due to inactivity is used for securing your data
if you have to leave the computer when it is working. If you
neither press any key nor move the mouse for a certain period
of time (5 minutes by default), the program logs out. You will
have to enter your username and password to resume your work.
Note: this feature is available in Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 only.
Exiting the program
To exit the program, you should select the File|Exit menu item.
The file will be closed. If there are any unsaved items left,
SecureSafe Pro will ask you to close them. You don’t
need to log out before exiting the program.
