When you enter your password as part of scheduling a task where is the password stored and what security measures are taken to protect the password?

[Acronis Support]

Hello bgrommes,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/).

Please be aware that your user name and password used to schedule a task in Acronis True Image are stored in the Windows registry in the encrypted format. I'm afraid that I'm not eligible to provide you with the more detailed information on how they are encrypted and where they are stored exactly.

If you have any further questions concerning Acronis software, please feel free to submit a request for technical support (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/support/) or post any of them on this forum. We will certainly try to help you in resolving any issues.

Thank you.
