Security Preferences
Security Preferences help you prevent unauthorized users from viewing entries
that you want to protect. Use Security Preferences to do the following:
■Lock and turn off your handheld so that it does not operate until you enter the
correct password.
■Mask all records that you mark as private so that the information appears as
gray bars.
■Hide all records that you mark as private so that they do not appear on any
screen.
You can mask and hide private records with or without a password. Without a
password, private records are hidden or masked until you set Security Preferences
to show them. With a password, you must enter the password to view private
entries.

handheld.
To assign a password:
1. From the General Preferences list, select Security.
2. Tap the Password box.
3. Enter a password.
4. Enter a hint to help you remember your password if you forget it. This is
optional.
