The “<span class="quote">Master Password</span>” option on the main menu replaces all remote account passwords with a single master password. The master password must still be entered every time when starting <span class="application">Cone</span>. However, all other remote mail account passwords are saved, and used automatically. The master password encrypts the file where remote mail account passwords are saved. The master password also encrypts imported <acronym class="acronym">SSL</acronym> certificates (they are saved together with remote mail account passwords).</p> <p>The master password may be changed at any time, by selecting this option from the main menu. Answering “<span class="quote">Y</span>” to “<span class="quote">Remove master password?</span>” deletes all saved passwords, and mail account passwords must, once again, be entered each time when opening remote mail accounts.</p> <p>A master password cannot be recovered, once forgotten. The only available option is to remove the master password. All saved passwords will be lost.</p> </div> <div class="navfooter"> <hr/> <table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"> <tr> <td width="40%" align="left" rowspan="1" colspan="1"> <a accesskey="p" href="cone08gpg.html" shape="rect">Prev</a> </td> <td width="20%" align="center" rowspan="1" colspan="1"> <a accesskey="u" href="cone00index.html" shape="rect">Up</a></td> <td width="40%" align="right" rowspan="1" colspan="1">  <a accesskey="n" href="cone10certificates.html" shape="rect">Next</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Encryption And Signatures </td> <td width="20%" align="center" rowspan="1" colspan="1"> <a accesskey="h" href="index.html" shape="rect">Home</a> | <a accesskey="t" href="bk01-toc.html" shape="rect">ToC</a></td> <td width="40%" align="right" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"> Certificates</td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
