At this point, it is recommended to '''encrypt your wallet before making any CloakCoin transactions!''' Encrypting later may leave earlier addresses vulnerable to theft in the case that the system is compromised. This can be done from the Settings menu using the Encrypt Wallet function. Note that this will only encrypt the wallet.dat file, the transactions record and address book will be visible to anyone that has physical access to your software.</translate>

'''<translate><!--T:28--> Do not lose the passphrase! If you forget your passphrase your funds will be lost.</translate>'''

<translate><!--T:34--> As from version 2.1.0.0, and following the Cognosec security audit, the Wallet has now a complete wallet encryption feature. The first time you close your wallet it will ask you to enter a passphrase, the wallet will be complety encrypted including transaction records and address book.</translate>
'''<translate><!--T:35--> Again, do not lose the passphrase! If you forget your passphrase your funds will be lost.</translate>
