CHAPTER 23 Keeping Your Information Private
Choosing a security level
There are a variety of security levels available for your handheld. Choose the level that provides
the best mix of security and convenience.
Activating no security features All entries are accessible to anyone who has your handheld. This
includes entries that are marked private
, but are not masked or hidden.
Masking private entries
without creating a password Masked entries are displayed when
selected. This provides some degree of privacy for private entries, but anyone can view the info by
simply selecting it.
Hiding private entries
and creating a password Private entries are displayed when the password
is entered. This is the basic level of security.
Encrypting entries
(requires assigning a password) Entries are scrambled whenever your
handheld locks, and are only displayed when the password is entered. Choose to encrypt all
information, or just private entries. This feature provides better security than hiding private entries
and assigning a password.
Limiting the number of password attempts
Selected information is deleted after a specified
number of incorrect password attempts. Use this feature along with encryption for the highest
level of security.
