Unload all keys
Selecting this option effectively closes all encryption keys that are available to your
system. This means that you need to authenticate again before you can access
encrypted data, i.e. you need to open the keys for use again. It is good security
practice to close all keys before you leave your computer unattended for a period of
time. However, there are also other security parameters in Endpoint Encryption for
Files and Folders that your Endpoint Encryption Administrator may have enabled for
automatic key closing. Ask your Endpoint Encryption Administrator about proper use of
this manual option.
User Local Key management options
There is a section in the tray icon menu that contains options for your locally
generated encryption keys, if applicable.

All these options are described in the Local key management cha
pter.
Endpoint Encryption Recovery
This option starts the recovery process, should you have forgotten your Endpoint
Encryption password. Follow the wizard that starts when you select this option. The
recovery process requires interaction with the Endpoint Encryption central database.
This is facilitated by either calling your helpdesk, or by using the Endpoint Encryption
Web Recovery. Please consult your Endpoint Encryption Administrator for what
recovery procedure applies to you.
You don’t need to be online in order to do a recovery. Recovery will work even if
you have no contact with any network.
