2.3.5 Changing a PKCS#12 File's Password Timeout

Passwords and password time-outs can only be set for PKCS#12 IDs. Since a file can contain multiple IDs,
passwords and time-outs are configured at the file level rather than for individual IDs.
To change the password timeout:
1. Choose Advanced (Acrobat) or Document (Reader) > Security Settings.
2. Highlight Digital ID Files in the left-hand tree
3. Select a file in the right-hand panel
4. Choose Password Timeout.
5. Configure the Password Timeout Policy dialog by specifying when a password prompt should appear:
Always: A password is always required each time the digital ID is used regardless of whether or not

you are logged in to a file.
After: Choose a value from the drop-down list to set a time frame.

Once per session: A password is asked for only once while the application is open.

Never: The password is not usually required when using this ID and you are logged into the file.

6. Enter the password.
7. Choose OK.
