password
Hello,
I would like to have a password request before it is possible to open my zotero library. Is it possible to integrate this feature into zotero?
Thanks
Daniele

It might (!) be possible to do something that requires a password, but in all honesty that'd be security theater: your database would still be on your computer in unencrypted form and anyone with physical access to the computer could copy it and then open it in their version of Zotero anywhere. That's also the reason Firefox never implemented this.
Why do you have a password for the online version of zotero? Leave it open, if you think you can leave your knowledge to everybody and nobody would misuse it!!!
I have sensible data in my zotero and do not want that everybody who might use my internet/firefox can get these information! Second, if my computer gets stolen it is like having two barriers, first they would need to crack the windows password, second they would need to crack the zotero password...
What's the problem in locking down an individual application which has tons of personal data in it (chronic, passwords, ...) and in my case sensible data and knowledge which I cannot leave open to everybody? Do you really think I am the only one who has sensible data in zotero which deserves protection?
For a lot persons it is a big part of their work which they save in zotero!!!!
You really think this does not deserve protection?
Presumably your browsing history is also sensitive, but there's nothing preventing people you let use your computer from accessing that.
If you don't want people accessing your private data, don't give them non-guest access to your computer.
No, you are not alone. But, if somebody cracks my PC and windows password, then there is tonnes of more sensitive data. I agree with Dan Stillman, protection of sensitive data should be based on system tools, not on an application level.
