In the New Password Database window, under Password, set the password for access to the new databaseand re-enter it in the field Confirm password.If the password is re-entered incorrectly, it will be highlighted red.Under Encryption algorithm select the encryption provider and required encryption method (see page 203).9. In the displayed window, enter the new Master Password to confirm creation of a new Password Database.LOCATION OF THE BACKUP COPYBefore saving any changes to your personal data, Password Manager automatically makes backup copies of thePassword Database. This avoids any losses of data in the event of system or technical failure. Password Managercreates a complete copy of the Password Database before implementing the changes. If the Password Database isdamaged, you can restore data from the most recent backup copy of the Password Database (see page 195).You can use different media to store the backup copy of your Password Database: local disk, removable disk, or networkdrive.By default, depending on the operating system, the backup copy is saved with the following path:Microsoft Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<strong>User</strong>_name\My Documents\Passwords Database\;Microsoft Windows Vista: C:\<strong>User</strong>s\<strong>User</strong>_name\Documents\Passwords Database\;Microsoft Windows 7: C:\<strong>User</strong>s\<strong>User</strong>_name\My Documents\Passwords Database\.To change the path of the backup file, please do the following:1. Open the main application window.2. In the bottom part of the window, click the Password Manager button.3. In the window that opens, click the Settings button.4. In the left part of the window, select the My passwords section.5. In the right part of the window, under Backup, click the button located in the right part of the field Path.6. In the Browse For Folder window, select the folder for the backup copy of the Password Database.SELECTING ENCRYPTION METHODThe task of cryptography is to protect information from unauthorized access and distribution. The main purpose of thecipher is to transfer encrypted messages via unprotected channels.Keys are required for encryption and decryption. A key is a vital component of a cipher. If one and the same key is usedfor encryption and decryption, it is called a symmetric key. If two keys are used , it is asymmetric. Symmetric ciphers canbe either block or stream. Any information (regardless of the format of the source data) is interpreted in binary code. Ablock cipher assumes all data will be broken into blocks, each of which will then undergo an independent transformation.In a stream cipher, the algorithm is applied to each bit of information.Password Manager offers the following symmetric algorithms:203
