Just to be clear, TiddlyWiki has three distinct features related to passwords/encryption:
* The ability to encrypt the content of a single file wiki. This is done with the "encrypt" button in the sidebar tools * The ability to set a password when saving to TiddlySpot. This is done in the "Saving" tab of control panel * The ability to use standard HTTP basic authentication with the Node.js server configuration. This is done on the command line with the "--server" command. Combined with SSL, this gives the same level of transit encryption as you'd get with online services like Google or Dropbox, but there is no encryption of data on disc Best wishes Jeremy.
