Create A Vault/Container (continued)
|
| |
Click:
-
the drop down arrow to the right of the "Save in:" box (see following image)
I'm
going to save my Cryptainer volume in the "My Documents" folder.
-
Click on "My Documents" to select it. This will save your encrypted volume to the "My
Documents" folder. You can store your Cryptainer volume anywhere you like. However,
you want to choose a location that is easy for you to access and remember. This
will make it easier to create a backup of your
vault/container.
-
Type "MyStuff" (or whatever name you choose) in the "File name:" box at the bottom
of the dialog box. Cryptainer LE allows you to save and encrypt 25 megabytes of
data per vault/container. If you need to store more data in the future you can
create additional volumes and name subsequent volumes mystuff2, mystuff3 and so
forth.
- Click the "Save" button to save your choices.

-
Enter the name "MyStuff" (or whatever name you choose) in the box entitled "Enter
Volume Label:" (see following image). This will be the name assigned to your
encrypted volume in "My Computer".
-
Enter the size of the "Cryptainer volume" you want to create (in Megabytes).
This will be the maximum amount you can store within this volume. The volume
will occupy this amount of space on your drive. I'm going to create a 25 Megabyte
volume which is the largest Cryptainer LE allows. (See image below)
-
Choose a "Password for the Cryptainer volume:". This is the password you will need
to enter when you open your volume to add files to it. Open/run "Password
Agent Lite" and create a new
account entry/record for your Cryptainer volume. A password will be automatically
generated. The security Cryptainer provides increases with the length, complexity
and randomness of the password you use. Click the magic wand (right of password box)
in Password Agent Lite to generate a more complex password. Cryptainer will accept
a password of up to 100 characters. Rather than type your password into Cryptainer
you can copy
then paste it from Password Agent into Cryptainer. This will allow you to use
a larger, more complex and therefore stronger password.
-
Leave the "Algorithm" set to "Blowfish448". Blowfish448 is the type of encryption
Cryptainer will use. It should meet the needs of most home and SOHO computer users.
Leave the box unchecked/blank next to "Do not format this Cryptainer Volume. Allow
me to format it myself".
