Blue Tango – The Text Scrambler – Password Report
This helper application allows you to see what passwords you have
stored under your username. You will see
those you have placed in each section of the product, including all of the ones
on your sender lists.
The following explains where passwords can be supplied:
- In the general
settings/tools, you can place a scrambling password, a scrambling password
hint, and an unscrambling password.
These will apply to the entire application.
- The password you supplied to
log-in is not used for scrambling or unscrambling except in that personal
free-form area in the general settings/tabs.
- The unscramble password in
the general/settings panel will always be tried in any unscrambling operation
anywhere in the application.
- The scrambling password and
its optional hint in the general settings/tools panel will only be used for
scrambling if no other password has been supplied down the line (that will be
explained later).
- Many people use the exact same
scrambling password all the time, so they place that password in the general
settings/options panel and they always leave all other scrambling passwords
blank.
- Many people place their
single scrambling password in the unscrambling password box in the general
settings/tools area as well. Then they
can scramble and unscramble their own text any time they want since they always
use the same password for scrambling and that same password is entered in the
general unscrambling password box.
- Now, the intermixed area is
typically for more formal communications and the separate area is typically for
less formal communications. Many people
choose to create a different password for scrambling in those two situations. So a scrambling password and its optional
hint can be placed in each of the settings/tools panels for the intermixed and
the separate areas. For instance, if you
place a scrambling password in the general area, and a different scrambling
password in the intermixed area, and leave the scrambling password blank in the
separate area, the following occurs (if you don't provide yet another override
password to be explained later…): Any
scrambling in the intermixed - rich text or intermixed - plain text area will
use the scrambling password and optional hint from the intermixed -
settings/tools panel. Any scrambling in
the separate - rich text or separate - plain text area will use the scrambling
password and optional hint from the general settings/tools panel (since no
password was supplied in the separate - settings/tools panel).
- Each of the four major areas
(intermixed - rich text, intermixed - plain text, separate - rich text,
separate - plain text) has its own scrambling and unscrambling panels. Those panels also allow the entry of a scrambling
password and hint and an unscrambling password.
If you put a password in that panel (like in the intermixed - rich text
- scramble panel), it, along with its hint will be used for that particular
scrambling, overriding any lower-level scrambling passwords and hints. Most users always leave that scrambling
password blank. However, if someone
tells you to use a particular password at a particular moment (different from
your normal scrambling password), you can place it in that panel and it will be
used. Just be sure to remove it from
that panel after you no longer need it or it will be used every time you
scramble in that area of the application.
So this means you could actually set up four "permanent"
scrambling passwords in each of the four areas (intermixed - rich text,
intermixed - plain text, separate - rich text, separate - plain text) by
entering them in those four areas and leaving them there.
- If you place an unscrambling
password in any of the four major areas' panels (intermixed - rich text,
intermixed - plain text, separate - rich text, separate - plain text), that
password is tried for unscrambling in addition to those in the lower
levels. So unscrambling passwords do not
override each other, they are simply all tried in an attempt to unscramble. So if you are in the intermixed - rich text
area, up to three unscrambling passwords (if supplied) will each be used in an
attempt to unscramble: the one in the intermixed - rich text - scramble panel,
the one in the intermixed - settings/tools panel, and the one in the general
settings/tools panel. Any unscrambling
password not in its line of vision will not be used (like the one you may have
entered in the separate - settings/tools panel).
- In the intermixed -
settings/tools panel and in the separate - settings/tools panel, instead of
entering unscramble passwords you are allowed to set up a list of senders. You receive scrambled text from someone. You go into either of those panels and you
add them to your senders' list, and store their scrambling password (that you
would need for unscrambling) there. As
you receive scrambled data from someone, if they are on your list and are using
the same scrambling password as before, you simply select them from the
drop-down and their scrambling password (that you stored earlier) is used for
your unscrambling. There is only one
such list of senders and their scrambling passwords. It appears in both the intermixed -
settings/tools and the separate - settings/tools panels. However, as explained before, you often work
with different people in the more formal intermixed area than in the less
formal separate area. So you are allowed
to select a different sender in each of those areas. So if you are in the intermixed - rich text
area and are working with a document sent by someone, choose that sender in the
intermixed - settings/tools panel.
This report shows all the passwords explained above and will show
which will apply in each section of the product.
