The Sticky Password storage location is defaulted to the 'My Documents\My Passwords' folder on your computer, but you can modify its location by opening 'Sticky Password Settings', switching to 'Database' page, and modifying the path to the Database file.

The password storage is strongly protected. This means that passwords, account names and additional information are never stored in readable form, they only decripted using master password before automatic activation. You can choose one of the following encryption algorithms to protect your storage:

Please note, that the master password used to encode your database is not stored anywhere else. Sticky Password does not have any hidden features to restore it. So, if you forget your master password, you cannot access the database for password information. Also the Sticky Password database module is protected against debugging and decompilation.

Therefore you can be assured that even in the case that your password storage file should end up in someone else's hands - that person will not be able access or use the password information without knowing your master password.

Password Storage backup

Sticky Password performs backups of password storage file automatically before commiting any changes you make. Using the "Manage Database" dialog you can open or restore your password storage file at any time.

Usually backup files are placed in the same folder as the main password storage, but it is recommended that you specify another location for backup files (for example on a different hard drive, so you can be assured that if one of your drives fails, you will be able to restore your passwords from the backup file).
