Knox vault opens without requiring password

Options
Junior Member
Today I opened one of my Knox vaults simply by clicking on it in the Knox menu. Knox didn’t ask for my password, and the vault opened as if it was a regular Finder folder. Ejecting the vault closed the volume, but didn’t secure it; it opened right back up again.



I restarted the computer and changed that vault’s password (actually I changed it to the same password again,) but that didn’t fix the problem.



Doesn’t matter how I open the offending vault—clicking in Knox menu, double-clicking in Finder, opening via LaunchBar.



My other Knox vaults continue to act as expected, with a password required to open them.



Knox is the current non-beta version: 2.1.13 (172), and my Apple system software is up-to-date.



It’s a little unnerving to open an encrypted vault that doesn’t ask for a password. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hey Stephen,



    It sounds like you have saved the vault password to the OS X keychain. Please see the related section of the User Guide, and let me know if you have any further questions:
