Software security Master Password
First thanks to all for a great upgrade to SM2. I'm on a MAC intel and downloaded / installed SM2 which replaced 1.1.18. SM2 would not recognise Master Password from 1.1.18. but would allow a new Master Password but would delete all held p'words etc.. Hmmm! Redownloaded 1.1.18 and, using password accessed all 'old' p'words etc.. Screen grab and took hard copy as backup. Inserted new password into SM2 and visited critical sites to register p'words from hard copy. So far so good. Now at each startup of SM2 'Master password required for Software security device' - no other passwords required after registering 1.1.18's mail / newsgroup passwords. My question - how to stop SM2 startup 'Master Password Required' at each startup.

WHAT Software Security Device? Didn't have one before, don't want one now. Baloney. I've gone back to 1.1.18 and unless and until they change that or come up with a solution, I'm staying right there. An additional complaint: moving to 2.0 didn't bring all my mail folder contents over with it. Roughly 1/3 showed up. All the folders did, but not all the content.

If you don't remember it you cannot access the saved passwords anyway so you can click Reset Password in the preferences pane.
