WHAT CAN I DO HERE?

NOTE: This help page applies to both Life­Topix (and oth­er clas­sic LightAr­row apps) as well as to LightAr­row Orga­niz­er for iOS and Mac. So, the screen­shots and direc­tions may vary slight­ly based on the app you’re using.

In your LightAr­row app, the Secure Your Data view allows you to set a pass­code lock for your app, which pro­vides extra secu­ri­ty. In addi­tion, some areas of the app that con­tain sen­si­tive infor­ma­tion require a PIN to see it. For exam­ple, if you plan to enter bank and cred­it card account num­ber infor­ma­tion in your LightAr­row app, you should make sure that you spec­i­fy a PIN in this view. In addi­tion, if you set up lock­ers in the Book­marks + Lock­ers top­ic, it’s required that you set up a PIN.

AES 256-BIT ENCRYPTION

Mil­i­tary Grade 256-bit Advanced Encryp­tion Stan­dard (AES) encryp­tion is includ­ed for sen­si­tive data fields. This applies to PINs and account num­bers in bank account detail, as well as for stor­ing the pass­word lock and secret ques­tion answers.

REVEALING PRIVATE DATA

In your LightAr­row app, by default, the entire num­ber for each finan­cial account is not dis­played. But on each view that con­tains that infor­ma­tion, a lock is shown to allow you to reveal your pri­vate data. When you tap the lock icon, you are prompt­ed to enter your PIN. In the Book­marks + Lock­ers top­ic, the app will ask you to enter a PIN to reveal pri­vate data. Refer to Book­marks + Lock­ers to learn more about lock­ers.
