FileEncrypt Entry

The Encrypt Entry sheet. This sheet slides out from the main editor window when you choose the FileEncrypt Entry... menu item, or the Encrypt toolbar button. This operation is only available when one entry is selected.

Enter a password or phrase to use to encrypt the entry. The password will not be shown. Make sure that you remember the password - there is no way to access your entry if you forget it!

Once an entry is encrypted, it displays with a lock instead of the content, and the menu item and toolbar button change to Decrypt:

When you choose the FileDecrypt Entry... menu item or the Decrypt toolbar button, the following sheet is displayed:

Simply enter the correct password (again it won't be shown), and the entry will be re-displayed as it was before encryption. If you don't enter the correct password, it will give you three more attempts, though you can always cancel and re-try if necessary.
