Password Protection

When you work with Logging Profiles In Geobank Mobile you can set two kinds of password protection: A Profile password and a Master password (see below).

To save your password settings, save and sync your changes to the profile!

Profile password

When you edit a Logging Profile, a button on the Edit Profile toolbar (ALT + L) allows you to set a Profile password:

The Set Profile Password form

The next time you or another user attempts to edit the profile, the Profile password must be entered:

The Enter the Profile Password prompt

To reset the password, simply select the same Profile Password option from the tool menu. This time you will be prompted to enter the old password and then enter and confirm a new password:

The Set Profile Password form for change of password

To clear a password, simply enter the old password and leave the other prompts blank.

Master password

If a Logging Profile has been synced (and a connection is active) you can set a Master password (ALT + P) which allows you to take ownership of synced data. When a Master password is set:

  • A Delete option is enabled to the right of each profile listed in the Download Logging Profile dialog. This option will delete the profile from the server.

  • The synced data in an open profile may also be unlocked (made editable) and then locked again using a Lock/Unlock button on the Toolbar Ribbon.

Before you can delete a profile on the server, or unlock the synced data in an open profile, you will be required to enter the Master password:

Setting and clearing a Master password works exactly as described for the Profile password (see above).
