Hi Eva and list, Actually, CE does support passwords, but KeySoft did not implement this. One thing that can be done under CE 5.2 is to encrypt a storage medium with a secure password-like key, so that only the device with this key would be able to use the storage device. But as soon as a user performs Hard Reset with data stored on Flash Disk, the password would be lost anyway, so anyone with sufficient knowledge might perform this reset and gain access to the owner's data. So I think this feature, although useful for encryption purposes, may not be a good option in the long run. But I also believe that having a password to lock one's BrailleNote would be useful for some people.
