password (property)

An optional password to further protect data.

Syntax

• Objective-C
• Swift

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=password,setter=setPassword:) NSString* password;
- (NSString*)password;
- (void)setPassword:(NSString*)newPassword;

public var password: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property may be set to a password to protect the data further.

When protecting data without specifying a password any application running under the same user account can unprotect the data. By specifying a password another piece of information is required to unprotect the data.

This may be set before calling Protect. If a password was specified when protecting data it must be set before calling Unprotect.

This setting is not applicable when UseCNG is set to True.
