Your input is limited to 16 characters. When you have finished, exit the sub-menu if used with OK. Accept the data with OK.
The Back function returns you to the previous menu. It can mean 'cancel' "no', 'I have read this', etc. OK can mean 'yes', 'accept this data', etc. To exit from the application go back to the first menu and select Exit.
You can choose your own Master Password or a random password can be generated for you. If you choose your own password it can consist of case-sensitive letters, numbers, spaces and symbols. The longer and more varied it is the more secure your data. Bear in mind that hackers have long lists of likely passwords so be creative.
Once you have a password you can reach the data access menu.
