Accessing Password Database
To access the Password Database, select one of the following authorization methods:
- Master Password protection. Master Password is used to access the Password Database.
- USB device. To access the Password Database, connect any USB device to your computer. When the USB device is disabled, the Password Database is automatically locked.
- Bluetooth device. To access the Password Database, connect a Bluetooth device to your computer. When the Bluetooth device is disabled, the Password Database is automatically locked.
- No authorization. Access to the Password Database is unprotected.
By default, protection is set by the Master Password, which means that you only need to remember one password.
Master Password is the basic tool that protects your personal data. If you have selected the method of authorization with a device, and the latter has turned out to be unavailable (or lost), you can use the Master Password for accessing your personal data.
