Where to find it
First launch → Set Password
The first password protects DinoX data on this computer. It is not your XMPP account password. It covers the accounts you set up in this local DinoX data directory.
Keep this password safe. Reinstalling cannot unlock data protected by a forgotten password. Make a backup before resetting data or moving to another computer.
Take care during normal unlocking: after three failed attempts, this version triggers a local emergency wipe. Do not repeatedly guess the password. The special unlock flow after a restore is exempt.
What to do
-
Enter a password you can keep safe in both fields.
-
Choose “Set Password”. Use this password to unlock DinoX on later launches.
