Under 1.1.18 there was a pref selection for encryption vise obscuring

No, it doesn't encrypt by default, only obscure.
From what I know, that's not really true, we don't obsucre in the new
password manager, we always encrypt, but default generate a key from an
empty master password.

Omone esle linked me to this -

Does this info actually hold for SM 2.0? And does SM 2.0 use strong 128
bit encryption when doing so? I have a Master set in 2.0, and I do need
to give it the Master to show passwords in the Manager.
I don't know for sure about the encryption. But being a modern
Application, with all the things that can attack computers today I would
not be surprised if it was.
As for having to type in password to see your passwords Yes.
and BTW: if you forget your Password your dead. You'll have to reset,
And if you have to that, it wipe out all your user names and passwords.
If not, can you point me at what SM 2.0 is actually doing? Really would
like to see some feedback in the dialog box as to encrypted vice simply
obscured like in 1.1.18. Thanks.
