SECURING YOUR DATA

Using your password with other Notes-based programs
You may use other applications that are based on IBMR Lotus NotesR technology. For example, you might use a program that accesses data from a Lotus NotesR database. When you use these programs, usually you enter your Lotus Notes password to access the data. If you have Lotus Notes open in the background, and you are working in a LotusR Notes-based program, you can set Lotus Notes to remember your password, so you don't have to enter your password multiple times.

Note: If you use a Smartcard to login to Lotus Notes, this feature is not supported.

1. Click File > Security > User Security (Macintosh OS X users: Lotus Notes > Security > User Security).

2. Click Security Basics, and select "Don't prompt for a password from other Lotus Notes-based programs (reduces security)" under "Your Login and Password Settings."
