SECURING YOUR DATA

Using your password with other Notes-based programs
You may use other applications that are based on IBM® Lotus Notes® technology. For example, you might use a program that accesses data from a Lotus Notes® 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 Lotus® 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."
