Passcode lock and custom master password

MentalPower

Hi all,



I love the new update, but I gotta say that I miss the passcode lock feature from the 3.x series. Is this gone forever? Also, same story with setting a different master password on the iPhone, I used this to tailor the PW to limit transitions between the different software keyboards on the iPhone (not something I have to worry with on the desktop).



Thanks!

As for the pass code look in the settings > security section you can turn on a quick unlock code. Its a short duration code and after it expires you will be prompted for the MP. If you enter it ( Quick unlock code ) incorrectly you will prompted for the MP again. They did it this way so you can change the code if you forget it. Kind nice idea IMHO.

Hi MentalPower,



Like Tommy said, you can use [i]Quick Unlock Code [/i]in [b]Settings > Security. [/b]



This will give you the 4 digits PIN code after you first unlock with the master password and after that, depending on your auto-lock timer and [i]lock on exit[/i] settings, you can use it to unlock the app. If it is wrong, the app will automatically revert to the master password.



Please note that this is much more secure to use as your data will always be protected by the master password and never by a 4-digit PIN plus, you no longer have to worry about setting security levels for each item. It's all the same high security protection with just a temporary short code that can only be used correctly once.



I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have more questions.
