Saving and opening files

Save file as / Save a new file​

Saving a new file and saving a file as are basically the same operations. In both cases the password for the file needs to be specified and verified.

NOTE: The password is not saved anywhere. You will have to remember the password in order to be able to open the file in the future.

The Save File As popup

Open file​

A password is required for opening a file. The open file popup queries both the password and the file name and then the file is attempted to open.

If the file could not be opened with the specified password, a counter is increased causing the PasswordKeeper to close if the counter reaches the maximum value specified in the preferences. This is to prevent the PasswordKeeper itself to be used to try to open a file via brute force by some kind of automation process.
