Lock tab

On the Lock tab, you can password protect your Read‑a‑Card settings and interface.

This makes it easy to ensure Read‑a‑Card runs properly and in the background for any end‑user of your application. It is not a complete security layer, but it is an easy way to keep end‑users from changing the way Read‑a‑Card behaves accidentally.

You can turn the lock on by selecting Select icon Lock Read‑a‑Card and entering a password.

When the lock is enabled and you choose to    Hide    the user interface, the password will be required to show the user interface again.

You can then disable the lock by deselecting Deselect icon Lock Read‑a‑Card.

Note:  If your password is lost or forgotten, you can unlock the system by deleting the line in the Read‑a‑Card.ini file that begins with Password=. (See Accessing program settings directly for more information.)
