Setting Password Protection |
 |
Sometimes you may want to protect your stickums from
other users or from accidental damage. In this case, you can
password protect your stickums. PLEASE NOTE: In the current
version of Stickums saved passwords are not encrypted! This means that
if a user knows what what they are doing and what to look for, they
can find out your password.
** Please choose a password that you do
not use for anything else. **

Descriptions of Password Settings Choices
| Password enabled | If this box is checked, the stickum will be password enabled. When this is the case the Password icon on the toolbar will be depressed, and the lock will be down (Figures 5 and 6). You will be prompted for a password when password enabling a stickum. |
| Open/Close | If this box is checked, the stickum will require password authentication to open it (to reveal the text) or to close (delete) it. Note that the stickum will show that it is locked down (Figure 7). In order to open it, you will need to click on the text window and enter your password. Also, if you want to lock the stickum after opening it, click on the Stickums program icon in the Titlebar and select Properties -> Locked (Figure 8). |
| Read-only | If this box is checked, the stickum will require password authentication to edit its text window or properties. However, you will be able to read the text in the text window. |
| Change Password | Allows you to change your password. |
