When you start CASA Manager the first time, you are prompted to create or enter a master password. You are prompted for your master password when displaying the values of secrets. The master password must be at least eight characters long.

Your desktop password and master password are used to encypt your secrets and store them on your computer. When you login to the computer, CASA will decrypt the saved secrets using your desktop password and make them available for applications integrated with CASA. If your desktop password changes, you must run CASA Manager and enter your master password before CASA can decrypt your saved secrets.

You can change the master password by using the following procedure from the main CASA Manager screen:

1. Click Options > Change Master Password.
2. Enter your current master password, Enter your new master password, re-enter your new master password, then click OK.

Important: To prevent unauthorized access to your credential stores, always create confidential passwords that are not easily discovered.
