68 Settings Customizing your device's settings ❖ Owner info-Under Screen unlock, touching this option displays a screen that allows you to display information about yourself (such as your contact information) on the lock screen. You will be prompted to enter the text you wish to display. ❖ Encrypt tablet-Under Screen unlock, touch this option to encrypt the contents of your tablet in the event that it is powered off. Configure a required numeric PIN or password to decrypt your tablet each time you power it on, see "Securing your tablet" on page 47. If you choose to set a password (with or without encryption), Toshiba strongly recommends that you write down your password and keep it in a safe location where you can later access it should you not remember it. Toshiba is not responsible for any losses that may occur, as a result of the inability to access your device. ❖ Visible passwords-Under Passwords, select this option to briefly display each character of your passwords as you enter them into the keyboard. ❖ Device administrators-Under Device administration, touch open a screen with a list of the applications you have authorized to be administrators for your tablet. This is typically an email, calendar, or other enterprise application that you granted this authority to, when you added an account hosted by an enterprise service that requires the ability to implement security policies on any devices that connect to it. Touch an application in this list to disable its authority to be a device administrator; if you do, the account you added will typically lose some functionality in its applications, such as the ability to sync new email or calendar events, until you restore the application's authority as a device administrator. Applications whose device administration authority you disable in this way, but that have accounts that require them to be device administrators, typically notify you how to restore their authority when you try to use them, unless you delete those accounts. ❖ Use secure credentials-Under Credential storage, select to allow applications to access your tablet's encrypted store of secure certificates and related passwords as well as other credentials. Credential storage is used to establish some kinds of VPN and Wi-Fi® connections, see "Setting up Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connections" on page 38. This setting is dimmed if you do not set a password for credential storage.
