About encryption passwords

When you upload an unencrypted file, FileMaker Cloud encrypts the file and creates an encryption password.

To show the encryption password for a database:

  1. In Admin Console, click the Databases tab.

  2. Click the down arrow to the right of the database name, then click Show Encryption Password.

    Note  This option is available only if you saved the encryption password, or the file was encrypted by FileMaker Cloud.

  3. Enter your Claris ID user name and password.

Important  Keep the encryption password in a secure place. You need this password to open the database. Before you download or delete a database, make sure you have the encryption password.
