Library protection

Library protection

Memento lets you restrict the access to libraries by using password protection, as well as encrypt entries using AES-128.
A single master password is used for restricting the access to libraries.

To protect a library, do as follows:
  1. Open the Library menu and select Set up protection.
  2. If you haven’t set up a master password yet, you’ll be suggested to enter one.
  3. Enable/disable library encryption and click on the OK button
Now, when opening a protected library, you will have to enter the master password (if it wasn’t entered yet).

Please note:
  • In an encrypted library, only string fields of the entries are encrypted.
  • If you forget your master password, it will be impossible to recover it, and you will not be able to decrypt your data.
  • An encrypted library cannot be published on the Memento server.
  • If the Memento application is unused for 5 minutes, the access to all protected libraries will be closed automatically.
    To reopen the access, you’ll have to reenter the master password.
