Open Contribute

If the Require Contribute startup password option is selected in the Security category of Preferences, Contribute prompts you for your startup password when you start the program.

A startup password protects unauthorized users from editing or publishing pages and blog entries to your website or blog. If you do not enter the password when you start Contribute, all web pages and blogs are disabled and cannot be enabled. You can only browse to web pages or blog entries and create web pages or blog entries. After you enter the correct password, you can make updates and publish changes or new entries to the connected websites and blogs until you close Contribute.

In addition to providing secure access, when the Require Contribute Startup password option is selected, Contribute uses a stronger encryption method when saving your connection information on your computer.

Note: If you receive a connection key that requires a Contribute startup password, you must create a startup password before you can import that connection.
