Secure Data Program

6 replies · 4,176 views · Started 21 September 2001

Does anyone know of a program that will store "secret" data such as PINs and passwords in a secure format on the 9210? I seem to note that the password protection (as basic as it was) seems to have disappeared from ER6 release of Sheet and Word. Please help!!

I'm afraid there isn't anything yet. It is a popular request so i expect a develop to do something about it soon.

If you have Zip Manager you could use a file inside a password protected Zip file.

You could lock the whole device. There is a lock command which prevents access to the device. I dno't know how secure it is but you can set it to lock every time you close the cover or after a time period. A real hassle for the PINs but useful if you consider most of your information to be valuable.

Locking the device is a little dodgy cos the automatic thing is a little irratic. Still, thanks anyway.
