Password protection - options in OS 10.5

Good afternoon.
With the recent spate of UN and PW theft, what are my good options for protecting these in OS 10.5?
Thanks for your time.

Well, besides good strong passwords & not falling for Phishing attempts...

  • I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password pro

    I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

  • How do I get my money back? Adobe Send feature set not even close to Send Now. No password protected download link option, poor contact management, no branded sending, no Outlook add-in / support. Wow. Talk about killing an excellent product.

  • I am unable to password protect a pdf file. Any thoughts. I went to help and none of the options wer

    I am unable to password protect a pdf file. Any thoughts. I went to help and none of the options were available to me.. I pay for pdf conversion to word and excel

    Password protection is ONLY available with Acrobat Standard or Pro. The PDF to Word converter is just what the name implies... PDF to Word... No encryption, no protection.

  • Can all the options as history, bookmarks, tools etc made be password protected

    my system is shared by many people so i want to make my whole Firefox options as history, bookmarks , tools etc. made password protected.
    is this make possible?????????????

    Best bet if the computer is shared, use the Guest account in Windows or give each person that uses the computer their own limited account. Putting a password on an application without putting a password on the Windows account that it's running under gives you no security whatsoever, because they can tamper with the system (installing a keylogger, etc) to get past any security an application can provide.
    Antivirus and firewalls are unlikely help you against something that's deliberately installed - you need to limit access to windows itself if you want to be secure and private.

  • Print Option Password Protected

    I am trying to figure out how to password protect the print option on my machine.  I have a 7 year old who is print crazy.  He's goes through in catridges like water.  I previously had a password on the print function when running 10.6 and 10.7 but when I upgrade to 10.8 (ML) the password function disappeared.
    I can't find the article online how I did it, but I seem to recall having to access in the Server version of the os to engage the password protection.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You can control this via the CUPS web page. But first you will have to enable the page, because it is disabled by default.
    So to enable it, open Terminal and paste the following line
    sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes
    Then press Return. You will be prompted to enter your password. Type this in, noting that the display does not show what you are entering, and press Return.
    Now open Safari and type
    http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
    Select the printer you want to control and from the new view, change from the Administration menu to Set Allowed Users. Then type the 7 year olds user name (short name) and tick the "Prevent these users from printing". Then press the Set Allowed Users button. A new window will appear stating the task is complete. You can now quit Safari and then log in to the other account to test. The printer should not be available for them to print to.

  • Can't remove known password (v11); no Protection option under Tools, no check boxes in Security tabs

    Hello,
    I am unable to remove a known password on a document (using version 11.0.3 currently, but also on older versions).  I have no "Protection" option under Tools and I see no "Remove Security" check boxes (or any check boxes) in the Security tabs.  Any help would be greatly appreciated...thank you!

    That's the reason, but it isn't new. No version of Reader has ever been able to change security settings. I'm guessing you used to have a copy of Adobe Acrobat (which looks similar but can do more).

  • Adobe reader will not let me password protect. Security does not have options to change. Please help.

    I am trying to password protect my pdf files and I do not have any security options.  Can you please help?

    Reader cannot change security. For that you would need Adobe Acrobat.

  • Is there (or could be) and option to password protect a folder in a mailbox list in Thunderbird? One click, no encryption or additional programs.

    In your mailboxes you have folder trees. I would like to have a password protection for one of them, so when somebody clicks on the folder 'Accounts', it asks for a password to see the contents.
    No master passwords or passwords for the whole inboxes. I don't want to input a password 10 times a day when i open up TB. Just when i click on a specific folder that may have some emails inside, that should be protected from view.
    Just simple, one click add password, enter password, see contents. No encryption or additional auxiliary programs.
    Has somebody already done that or could do as a built in feature or and add-on?
    Thank you!

    Well, if you don't encrypt it, chances are the mail store files themselves will be readable in any text editor.
    This add-on offers some password capability: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html
    There is also a config editor setting that requests a password. See this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Protecting_the_contents_of_the_profile_-_mail and specifically, "Note: You can password protect the contents of the message pane by setting mail.password_protect_local_cache to true using the configuration editor in conjunction with setting a master password in Thunderbird."
    However, I believe that both of these work at an account level rather than on specific folders. And both offer trivial and weak protection.

  • I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

    I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
    Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
    The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

    Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.

  • Saving to a folder that is password protected

    I've got a script that saves artwork to a public folder but I also need a script that saves the artwork to a folder that is password protected.  The username and password is something I would need illustrator to be able to type in before saving is there an option for that?  I can't find anything on this anywhere so I'm not sure that it is even a possibility.

    Silly-V's suggestion is viable but could even be expanded to monitoring the interim folder in the background and moving them immediately. It may be better, however, to address the core need rather than treat symptoms. Not trying to be funny here, but who is saving the artwork if everyone's at a meeting anyway? Nonetheless, I work on this kind of thing all the time but need some more background. Given the possible sensitive nature of your setup, feel free to PM me if you would like and we'll see what we can do. Once resolved, if possible, you can elaborate publicly on the remedy if you'd like for the benefit of the community.

  • How do you password protect web gallery

    Iphoto is easy to protect. How do you password protect your movies in webgallery? The help menu is not very clear

    The best I can figure out is that if you post your movie to the Gallery, but do not select the option to "Show project on Web Gallery home page," the video will not show on your home page for random visitors. When the movie is done posting, you can send the direct link of your video to whomever you want by copying it from the confirmation page after the video uploads. Not perfect, but the only option I see right now.

  • How can I set up SMB file sharing to share my PC external hard drive on my Mac with no password protection?

    I am having the worst trouble with two things. I am very aware how to get the server to show up via SMB, but every time I log off the Macbook, the server's disappear. OK, so I went into "System Preferences" and hit "Users and Accounts" and added the server as a log in item. Worked well, except how do I stop that password prompt from coming up? I am using a Guest account with no password but I continue to get the password prompt. There is nowhere to hit remember password or anything. I have the option to remember the password in the keychain but I have no way of preventing the pop up.
    Another issue I'm having is I have a Canon Pixma MP620 printer connected to my PC through USB. Three other PC's can connect wirelessly to print through the home network. My Mac does not find the printer, and when I manually add it, it recognizes it but WILL NOT print. It comes up with error messages like Authentican Required and connection issues between printers.
    I have no password protection on my PC and have enabled sharing of all devices and folders through the Homegroup on the PC. I just can't figure it out. I am new to Mac and would love to get these two things figured out.
    Thanks in advance for reading!

    Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
    I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.
