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 or hiding private entries without creating a password

Masked entries are displayed

when selected, and hidden entries are displayed when Show is selected in the Security
Preferences. This provides some degree of privacy for private entries, but anyone with access to
your handheld can view all your records.

Masking or hiding private entries and creating a password

Private entries are protected by the

password and can be displayed only when the password is entered. This is the basic level of
security.

Locking your handheld

A password is required to use your handheld. All entries are protected,

whether marked as private or not.
