Section 12: Settings: Security

The Save Passwords switch controls whether or not TouchTerm allows you to store passwords in saved Connection Profiles. Note that if this is turned on, you can still choose to save passwords in only some of the Connection Profiles, but when it is off you will not be able to save passwords in any of them.

See the Application Lock section below for more information about configuring and using the Application Lock and working with the the App Password.

"Manage SSH Keys" allows you to create and work with SSH public-key authentication. See below for more details on working with SSH keys.

The Host Key Notification controls whether or not TouchTerm displays notifications whenever new or unknown keys are encountered when connecting to hosts. When this is enabled and you first connect to a server from your device, a dialog will be displayed, informing you of the Host Key's fingerprint:

Note that even if this is turned off, TouchTerm manages host public keys and will notify you in the case that a changed key is discovered. Also note that public key fingerprints are available for all servers that have been connected to from a saved profile, in the Connection Profile details screen.

Finally, the "Reset Host Key List" button allows you to clear TouchTerm's host key ("known hosts") database. Note that if you do this, all public keys that have been seen will be discarded. You should generally only use this if you understand the implications and have a specific need to; for example, if a server in your Connection Profile has changed its public key.
