An overview of Pick security.

Description

provides an overview of Pick security.

Pick provides several levels of security, including:

- File retrieval and update lock codes.

- Separation of user and account, each with their own unique passwords.

- Privilege levels.

- Port logon control. After three unsuccessful logon attempts, the port is disabled to prevent further attempts. To 're-enable' the port, press any key, other than <return>, followed by two <returns>. This is primarily in cases where someone is using a dial-up line and gets line noise, which could be interpreted as invalid logons.
