Password protection

To password-protect a phrase file:

2. Highlight the phrase file node in the phrase tree root.
3. Select File » Set password .

After confirmation, PhraseExpress uses AES "end-to-end" encryption to protect your phrases.

Keep the password at a safe place. We won't be able to restore phrase file if you forget the password. There is no backdoor.

Backups of earlier unprotected phrase file versions are still unprotected.

Password-protected phrases are also protected if you share phrase files with cloud synchronization services such as Dropbox or Google Drive.

To remove the password protection:

1. Open the main program window.
2. Highlight the password-protected phrase file node in the phrase tree root
3. Select File » Remove password .

You cannot remove the password protection without knowing the password.
