Verify Password
   - Always: all remote users need to verify password to access your Network Clipboard & Viewer computer.
   - Non-Favorite Computers: remote computers not in your Favorite Computers list will need to validate access to your Network Clipboard & Viewer using the password.
   - No verify password: password will be ignored to access your Network Clipboard & Viewer from a remote computer. This is recommended only on trusted networks/users.

Password
   Initial password is now "8888888888
" (ten times the number eight, with no quotes). Password always appears as ten characters long for security reasons. Enter the password for your Network Clipboard & Viewer on this box. The other computers should have the same password if their verify method require it to access. Password is case sensitive.
warning If you change your local password, please make sure the others computers you want to share clipboard have the same password.

light To view your local password, the "
Ask password" option should be checked when launch Options and Preferences. Double-click the password's edit box to view your password (wait 10 seconds or click balloon to hide). If "Ask password" was not enabled before using Options and Preferences, you'll not be allowed to view local password. This prevents an unauthorized user to view a local password defined by a Network Administrator when Options and Preferences was not blocked by Administrator (asking the password to access Options and Preferences).

lightlight If security is not a concern for you (for example, you're the only user in your Lan), you may specify the wildcard "*" (without quotes) to indicate "all users connecting to my Network Clipboard and Viewer" are registered (to be authorized, still needs the check mark in proper check box).


Favorite Users
This list box is useful if you enable, for example, Authorize first option. It contain all users that will be automatically authorized to get your clipboard content, without confirmation, if you enable (check) the option Always Authorize Favorite Users (Right-click the Favorite Users box). A Favorite User will appear on Authorize window as a user icon with a green card in front, any other user (non favorite) will appear with a user icon with a red card in front.
