How to protect Amazon S3 accounts with master password using CloudBerry S3 Explorer

Note: this post applies to CloudBerry Explorer 1.6.3 and later.

In this post we would like to introduce our new Master Password feature that protects CloudBerry S3 Explorer from authorized access. Although rarely these days some users still work on shared computers where other users have access to their data. Master Password helps you further protect your Amazon S3 account from unauthorized access.

To enable Master Password go to the Options screen, General tab. Click protect my sensitive data with master password option and enter the password.


Next time you run CloudBerry Explorer it will ask you to enter the password.


As simple as that. We hope you will find it useful and as always we look forward to your feedback.

If you came to this post by chance you should know that CloudBerry S3 Explorer is a Windows freeware product that helps managing Amazon S3 storage and CloudFront . You can download it at http://cloudberrylab.com/
