Visible passwords

Check to briefly show each character of passwords as you

enter them, so that you can see what you enter.

Device administrators

Opens a screen with a list of the applications you have

authorized to be administrators for your tablet. This is typically an email, calendar,
or other enterprise application that you granted this authority to, when you added
an account hosted by an enterprise service that requires the ability to implement
security policies on any devices that connect to it. Touch an application in this list
to disable its authority to be a device administrator; if you do, the account you
added will typically lose some functionality in its applications, such as the ability
to sync new email or calendar events, until you restore the application’s authority
as a device administrator. Applications whose device administration authority you
disable in this way, but that have accounts that require them to be a device
administrators, typically notify you how to restore their authority when you try to
use them, unless you delete those accounts.

Use secure credentials

Check to allow applications to access your tablet’s

encrypted store of secure certificates and related passwords and other credentials.
You use credential storage to establish some kinds of VPN and Wi-Fi connections,
as described in “Connecting to networks and devices” on page 55. If you have not
set a password for the credential storage, this setting is dimmed.

Install from storage

Touch to install a secure certificate from your tablet’s

storage, as described in “Working with secure certificates” on page 74.

Set password

Opens a dialog where you can set or change the password for your

secure credential storage. Your password must have at least 8 characters. See
“Working with secure certificates” on page 74.

Clear storage

Deletes all secure certificates and related credentials and erases

the credential storage’s own password, after prompting you to confirm that you
want to do this.
