The .Folder technique is not effective

...as I use an utility to open the Apple-Menu, and there at the top I have listed the "Secured Folder" and can even navigate into it. That's not security! Of this or all the other programs. OS9 had a Drop-Program to encrypt files as part of the System, and that was effective, and OSX-File-Vault goes too far encrypting everything. A stable drop-encryption program is what is best, or as the former user suggests: <Open Disk Utility. Create a password-protected disk image of any desired size. You are done, for free.> If that is a stable solution, it seems best.

As i noted, this is not a security tool! - jaanOne

I mentioned it many times......This is not a security tool!
Why does this have to be said so may times, most people do not even read it all.
I even suggested in eyeHide help and on my website that this is only a simple tool.

If anybody needs more security i pointed out some tools that will really help.
I even created a simple tool to help to create encrypted images for more sec.

The .Folder technique is not effective - Dan Newcombe

Hi, I have forgotten my password and as such cannot open the folder through eyehide. Could you let me know of the app you use that makes the folder so easy to navigate through the menu? Then hopefully i can go in and extract all my files!
