Password Security employs SHA-256 encryption, which uses a
type of algorithm (known as a hash function) to encrypt your
password. The encrypted password is stored as a hash value (a
fixed-sized output generated from a variable-sized amount of
text). Because the hash is one-way only, it is extremely difficult
to decrypt, making Password Security very secure—to say the

will simply never be able to access the stored data. The data is
effectively lost. Luckily, you can create a password hint to help
