Encrypting your data file
If you need to keep others from accessing your TimeCache data, you can encrypt and password protect it with the encryption option built into TimeCache.

You protect your file by choosing File>Encryption>Protect File. TimeCache prompts you for a password, and requires you to enter it twice. Be sure you remember the password you enter. TimeCache uses 256-bit AES, a very strong encryption scheme. Your data is not recoverable without the password.

You can change your password by choosing File>Encryption>Change Password. TimeCache asks for your old password, then asks you to enter a new password twice.

If you decide to remove encryption, choose File>Encryption>Remove Protection. TimeCache asks for your password twice to confirm that you have permission to remove encryption.

IMPORTANT: If you lose your password for an encrypted TimeCache data file, the data in the file cannot be recovered unless you know how to crack 256-bit AES encryption. (To the best of our knowledge, so far nobody has done that.) At the same time, The PandaWare Company cannot assure complete security for your data even if you do encrypt it. Use TimeCache file encryption sensibly.
