Preferences

To modify Safe Place's preference settings, select Preferences from the Edit menu.

Auto Lock

Safe Place can automatically lock after one or more minutes of inactivity. To change the number of minutes before Safe Place automatically locks, drag the thumb in the "Lock the application when it is inactive for:" control. You can set the delay from one minute to one hour in five minute increments. Or set the thumb to "Never" to prevent Safe Place from automatically locking.

Select the Play Sound When Locking checkbox so that Safe Place will play a built-in sound when it automatically locks, or when you click the Lock button in the Passwords List View. Deselect this checkbox if you don't want Safe Place to play the sound.

If you select the Display Badge on Dock Icon When Locked checkbox, an icon will be displayed over the Safe Place icon in the dock whenever Safe Place is locked.

Password Generator

Use the checkboxes in the Password Generator area to specify the rules Safe Place will use when generating random passwords.

Any characters entered into the Custom field will be added to the list of valid characters when generating passwords. Characters entered into the Exclude field will not be used when generating passwords. By default, Safe Place excludes characters that might be confused with other characters, such as the number one and the lowercase letter L.

Set the minimum and maximum characters pop-up menus to specify the shortest and longest password Safe Place can generate.
