Database Properties

Each Password Depot database has properties. Unlike program options, these properties are linked to a database and can be defined for each database individually. To view and modify/change your database properties, click in the tab Database on Properties (Ctrl + I) or click on the Properties icon in the tool bar.

There are six tabs in the Properties dialog:

  • General: Displays a number of information fields (location, size, last modified, number of folders and passwords); allows for change of authentication; offers deletion or refreshing of icons used in databases. Furthermore, you can use compression to reduce the database size.
  • Content: In this tab you can edit your database content. This includes, for example, the recycle bin settings, the history of your passwords as well as custom icons, attachments and ignored URLs.
  • Advanced: Allows for definition of password policies in a database. Plus, you can active the option that authorized users have to set a second password.
  • Notes: Allows for modifying/editing of comments and master password hints – both are shown when opening databases.
  • Backup: Allows for creating and saving backup files on the internet or other remote servers and setting intervals for these backups, independent from regular backup files which are defined through the program options.
  • Entries: You can choose different types of entries and deactivate those you are actually not working with or those which are not necessary to you.
  • Security: Allows you to set a second password for additional security of your database and to edit an existing second password.
