Inside Apple iTunes 8.2 there is a new security option for backing up your Apps. Although this new feature is not explicitly mentioned on the iTunes “What’s New” Web site, you can find it when you connect your device (e.g., iPhone and iPod touch) to your computer.
Select your device on the iTunes sidebar and click on the Summary tab.
Underneath the “Manually manage music and videos” option is a new option:
“Encrypt iPod backup” [When you select this option a popup window will request the entry of a password (HA, good thing you've download my TrustedAgent App!). You can then remember this password in your Keychain.]
Using this new option is a great way to safeguard your TrustedAgent password file. This file is automatically archived on your computer during device sync.
TrustedAgent does NOT encrypt PINs or passwords that are stored on your iPhone and iPod touch device. Remember, PINs and passwords are only as good as the security measures that YOU use to safeguard them.
