will not force the application to quit. You can configure the setting to force the device to lock;
however, you risk losing data in any opened and modified files.
IMPORTANT:
Forcing a device to lock can result in data loss. If your files have become
corrupt from a forced lock procedure or from unplugging the device before locking, you might
be able to recover the files by running CHKDSK and using data recovery software.
To run CHKDSK
1. Unlock the device.
2. Use the following keyboard shortcut to bring up the "Run" prompt:
WINDOWS LOGO BUTTON + R.
3. Type "CMD" and press ENTER.
4. From the command prompt, type CHKDSK, the Secure files drive letter,
and then "/F /R".
For example, if the Secure Files drive letter is G, you would enter:
•
CHKDSK G: /F /R
5. Use data recovery software if necessary in order to recover your files.

Alternatively, when the keyboard focus is in a password field you can press CTRL+ALT+ V.

You can use the Virtual Keyboard in conjunction with the actual keyboard, so that you
type some characters and click some characters.

You can also optionally click the "Randomize" button to randomize where the keys are
located. This helps protect against screenloggers.
NOTE:
This feature is available on Windows only and uses a standard QWERTY keyset.
NOTE:When you click a key in the Virtual Keyboard, all of the keys briefly go blank. This feature
prevents screenloggers from capturing what you clicked. If you do not want to use this feature,
you can disable it in the options menu beside the "Close" button.
