9. In the “Security Setup” window you will create a “backup password
file”. The “backup password file” is necessary for unlocking your Aegis
Bio in the event that fingerprint verification is not possible. (To view the
password in plain text, select the Unhide password check box.)
10. Next, select a location for storing your “backup password file”, by
default it goes into the current users “My Documents” folder.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you keep your “backup password
file” in a safe place and not on the Aegis Bio itself. When fingerprint
verification cannot be performed, it is impossible to unlock your device
without both knowledge of the password and the “backup password
file”.
11. Once you’re done with the “Security Setup” window click “Next” to
continue to the “Aegis Formatter” window.
