Identity passwords

You can configure your identity to prompt you for a password when you log on or switch from another identity. This prevents users who do not know your password from logging on as you. The password is also required to delete the identity, or change the identity settings.

Adding a password to your identity makes it more difficult for other users to access your files; however, the level of security the password provides is minimal. Even with a password, it is possible for other users to access your files.
