If you want help to create an unusual or strong password, click the button with the
key-shaped icon next to the Password field to open the Password Assistant and use it
to help you create a password. You can select a type of password in the pop-up menu,
depending on which password characteristics are most important to you.
A password appears in the Suggestion field; its strength (“stronger” passwords are
more difficult to break) is indicated by the length and green color of the Quality bar. If
you like the suggested password, copy it and paste it into the Password field.
If you don’t like the suggested password, you can choose a different password from
the Suggestion field pop-up menu, increase the password length by dragging the
slider, or type your own.

Saving a Spreadsheet
If you’re running Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) or later, Numbers auto-saves your spreadsheet
frequently in the background, so that you don’t have to worry about losing changes
you made if the application closes unexpectedly. You can also save the spreadsheet
manually, creating an archive of older versions, which can be recovered at any time.
No matter which operating system you’re running, it’s a good idea to save your
spreadsheet often as you work. After you save it for the first time, you can press
Command-S to resave it using the same settings.
When you save a Numbers spreadsheet, fonts are not included as part of the
spreadsheet. If you transfer a Numbers spreadsheet to another computer,
make sure the fonts used in the spreadsheet have been installed in the Fonts folder
of that computer.
To save a spreadsheet for the first time:
1 Choose File > Save, or press Command-S.
2 In the Save As field, type a name for the spreadsheet.
3 Choose where you want to save the spreadsheet.
If the directory in which you want to save the spreadsheet isn’t visible in the Where
pop-up menu, click the disclosure triangle to the right of the Save As field and
navigate to a different location.
