You can log out from the Software Security Device (e.g. click Cancel in the Show Passwords dialog) to protect the passwords against viewing by others if you leave the computer unattended and force re-entering the MP once again.

  • Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates > Security Devices: Software Security Device: Log Out button
