Folder Properties
This dialog box allows you to view and edit the properties of a selected folder of password entries.
You can call this window up by right clicking on a folder and then selecting Properties in the window that opens.
Tab General
In the window's upper third, you have following options:
- Name: Allows you to modify the folder's name, simply by typing into the field.
- Change Icon: Click this button to change the icon that represents the folder in the navigation area. There opens the window Select Image. Here you can either choose from a large number of integrated symbols (tab Standard) or select your own icon (tab Custom).
- Reset Icon: Sets the icon back to its initial state.
In the middle of the window are fields providing additional information about the selected folder:
- Type.
- Location: Indicates the path to this folder.
NOTE: The field Location is empty if the selected folder is the root directory (i.e. it contains all other folders), as it does not have a path in this case. However, if the selected folder represents a subfolder (i.e. it is within one or several other folders), then the field shows the corresponding path, along the pattern "Root\Subfolder1\Subfolder2\etc.".
- Contains: Informs about the folders and passwords contained in the folder, as well as about the number of passwords that have expired.
At the window's lower end are two further fields:
- Category : If you like, you can assign a category to the folder. Either you type in a description yourself, or you choose one of the names from the drop-down list.
- Comments : Provides space for any text you might like to add, e.g. a description of the folder.
Tab Security
The Security tab allows you to set up an additional layer of protection for your folders by defining a second password. This feature enhances the security of your sensitive information by ensuring that only authorized users can access and view the folder's contents.
To set up a second password, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the folder you want to protect with a second password.
- Click on the Security tab in the folder's properties or settings.
- In the Security tab, you will find an option to define a second password. Check the box to enable this feature.
- Enter a strong and unique password that will be used as the second password. Make sure to use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters for increased security. It's also a good idea to avoid using easily guessable information, such as your name or birthdate.
- Confirm the second password by entering it again in the designated field.
- Save your changes by clicking the 'OK' button.
Once you have set up a second password for a folder, its contents will only be displayed if the correct second password is entered.
