I lost my password. How do I reset my password?
Most lost user passwords and category passwords can be reset.

What is Extended Security?
Extended Security enhances The Journal’s normal security by adding an additional layer of protection, and a couple of security-related options.
The Journal’s “basic” security is quite good, more than most people will ever need. Extended Security builds on that to make The Journal as secure as possible.

What kind of encryption does The Journal use?
Passwords
Passwords in The Journal are never stored in the database without being “hashed”.
Passwords are salted and hashed a random, large number of iterations using the SHA256 algorithm. This is a one-way hashing algorithm, making it nearly impossible to guess the password from the hashed value and computationally expensive to attempt.
Encryption
Entries stored in The Journal are compressed before they are encrypted. The compression removes redundant information from the entry, making the encryption somewhat more secure.
Compression of entries uses the ZLib general compression library.
Encryption of entries uses 128-bit AES (American Encryption Standard).
Encryption keys, password salts, and cipher initialization vectors are created using the Microsoft Windows CryptGenRandom function.
