Bravo for Kmymoney2,

It is tremendous one financial management tool.

What me in seduced in Kmymoney2, its friendly user interface and the intituivite, as well as the important number of fonctionalités. But I find damage that the access to the accounts is not protected by word of pass.

I hope that this option can be integrated into the next version.

Thanks to all and still Bravo

Indeed sincérement, Célio ROCHA

If "chmod go-r myfile" is not secure enough for you, you should consider
storing the file on an encrypted filesystem (see for example
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_encryption_software]). This feature
may be wanted for different kinds of files used by different programs,
so it is not at all KMyMoney2-specific and KMyMoney2 should not attempt
to create its own implementation. Maybe it could use KWallet?

Celio,
you have the option to use GPG to encrypt your file. That way, you will have to enter your passphrase when you want to open the file.
Just save it as encrypted and select your private key and you are good to go.
Is that what you were looking for?

Regards,
Alvaro

Right.

Yes, but KWallet would just store a password not the data itself. We did
not want to implement our own encryption/decryption algorithm to simply
avoid its weakness from the start on. That's where our GPG encryption
comes into play (which even allows you to store the data on public
accessible servers for backup purposes)
