Mode - Edit Custom Mode

NOTE: This option is not available with Password Depot 18. The expert mode is enabled by default in version 18 and cannot be changed. 

If you are using an older version of Password Depot than version 18, please read the following instructions.

In Password Depot, you can choose three different modes. The mode you choose determines the functions that will be available to you.

If you want to determine which functions of Password Depot you would like to use and which you do not need, run the program in Custom Mode.

Click on View → Mode to select and edit the Custom Mode.

A click on Edit Custom Mode opens the Custom Mode Editor with the tab Available Commands. On the left side, you see a number of Categories into which the functions which you can enable or disable are divided. If you select a category on the left, you will be shown the corresponding functions (Commands) on the right-hand side. Remove the check mark if you do not want to use a function in your customized mode.

The following categories are available to you:

  • Edit (with the following commands: Auto-complete sequences, Duplicate, Categories, Internet servers, Global custom fields, Linked entry)
  • Entry (with the following commands: Copy TAN to clipboard, Create Shell link, Print, Generate password, Partial password, Edit active TAN, Mark active TAN as used, and Regenerate password)
  • File (with the following commands: Save as and Backup)
  • Folder (with the following command: Properties)
  • Search (with the following commands: Advanced Search as well as Search and Replace)
  • Tools (with the following commands: Import, Export, Encrypt external files, Decrypt external files, Security check, USB Installation, Erase external files, Synchronize databases, Clean-up, and Search for duplicates)

However, you can only disable functions which are not needed by the program to work normally. This means you can only disable extended functionality like Synchronize databases or Encrypt external files (under Tools).
