Security is one of those funny words. One dictionary definition is "the state of feeling safe, stable, and free from fear or anxiety".

While it may be hard to be completely "free from fear or anxiety" (when it comes to your data), you can certainly lock things down so it's SUPER hard for any "bad guy" to get anything of value.

Questions like "Is FileMaker secure" are pretty general, and given that FileMaker is just a tool, you're the responsible party for making sure things keep you free from that "fear or anxiety".

Since your FileMaker solution will inevitably need to reach out beyond itself, using external services, there are many situations where you need to secure things as much as possible.

In this video, I walk through accounts, passwords and security. Not FileMaker's accounts and passwords mind you - the accounts and passwords of your users and external services. I cover topics related to storing passwords within the database itself and how to go about securing access to external services used by your solution.

If you've not taken the time to learn the difference between a digest hash and encrypted data, and how you might use one versus the other, then watching this video will certainly help you out!
