Account backups and password protection.

[Vespasian]

When I back up a workspace, I am able to choose password protection on the
archive file.

When I backup Groove accounts (Use Account on Another Computer), I don't get
a prompt. What level of protection is offered when backing up accounts?

Not only do I want to know if someone who may get ahold of the file have to
know the password to log into the account, will they even be able to see
(other than the default naming scheme for the backup file generated by
Groove) the user login the account file belongs to?

Hi Vespasian

You cannot install the account on another computer unless you know the
password.

If you have no account password set, Groove warns you when you choose Use
Account on Another Computer, so you can stop, add an account password and
then proceed.
