| Item |
An
item can be a password, a credit card or any confidential data you
like. It can be based on a template (fixed fields), have individual
fields or just the notes
field. |
| Category |
Categories help you organize your confidential data
items. You may have a category for all your business passwords and
another one for all your private passwords.
|
| Template |
Templates
are optional, but they help you organize your confidential data. If an
item is based on a template, it will have the fixed fields of the
template, otherwise it will only have the multi-line notes field and
optionally individual fields.
Some templates are predefined,
but they can be changed or deleted, and new templates can be
created. If you change or delete a template, the items based on it will
not be changed, they will keep the fields of the original
template.
|
| Field |
Fields
can be part of a template, but they can also be individually defined
for an item. |
| Master Key |
The
master key is a long key composed of letters, digits and
special
characters, that is used to encode the confidential data. For best
security it should have at least 16 characters and not be composed of
words that can be found in a dictionary (which could be used for a brute force attack).
It must be entered each time you start the program, unless you checked
the option for remembering it, in which case you have to enter only the
short unlock key. This convenient solution is not recommended, as
hackers might decode the master key by brute force attacks. |
| Unlock Key |
The
unlock key is a small numeric key (typically 4 or 6 digits long) that
you have to enter each time you open a confidential data item, if you
have not used the program for a short while. If you repeatedly enter a
wrong key, it will be deleted and then you will have to enter the long
master key in order to create a new unlock key. |
