File Encryption

File encryption will scramble the contents of your data file so that it can only be opened with a password that you specify. This feature is used to protect your sensitive financial information from unauthorized access.

Note: If you use file encryption with Moneydance, make sure to remember your password! If you forget your password, it will be impossible to ever open your file again!

Step 1    From the Home Page select File and then Encryption.
Step 2    When the encryption window is displayed, click on the Encrypt Data File box.
Step 3    Enter your password and then confirm the password by typing it again in the Confirm field. (It is a good idea to also complete the Hint field just in case you forget your password. This hint will be available later if you find it necessary.)
