<p class="margintop2">When you start CASA Manager, you are prompted to
enter a master password. You are prompted for your master password when
displaying the values of secrets. The master password must be at least 8 characters
long.</p>
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:</p>
<ol>
<li>Click Options &gt; Change Master Password.</li>
<li>Enter your current master password, Enter your new master password, re-enter
your new master password, then click OK.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>Important:</b> To prevent unauthorized access to your credential stores,
always create confidential passwords that are not easily discovered.</p>
