Working with Encrypted Fields

In Bento, to encrypt data in a field, you must first create a field of the type encrypted. See ”Creating Fields” on page 86.

You can store sensitive data in encrypted fields. When you enter data in encrypted fields, it is securely stored in your Bento database and can only be read within Bento. Encrypted data in a locked field is displayed as bullets.

If you attempt to enter data in an encrypted field and you have not already set the Database Password, you won’t be able to proceed until you do so. For information about setting the Database Password, see ”Setting a Password for Your Bento Database” on page 108.

You can search encrypted fields if they are unlocked. For more information about searching, see ”Search Field and Advanced Find” on page 28.
