- Password v1
- Another fine product from Avarice Software
-
- Password is a small utility for quickly turning on an off password
- protection on the Newton. Its icon in the extras drawer indicates
- whether password protection is currently turned on or off. Click on
- its icon to toggle the state.
-
- The built-in way of turning on/off password protection is somewhat
- cumbersome, especially if you do it often. To turn off password
- protection you use Prefs, enter your old password, and leave the
- new password line blank. To turn password protection back on, you
- return to Prefs and reenter your password.
-
- Use of Password is free of charge. I encourage you to share it freely.

- Known Bugs:
-
- - If you turn on or off password protection using Prefs, Password's
- icon will not reflect the new state until you tap on it. This is
- because the current version of Prefs doesn't notify other apps
- when it changes the system soup.
-
- - Sometimes the icon will flicker briefly when it changes state. This
- is only a cosmetic problem, it doesn't mean Password is having
- trouble setting the state of password protection.
