Security Panel Update 1.0

Palm has released a Security Panel Update 1.0 for Palm TX, LifeDrive, Tungsten T5, Tungsten E2, and Zire 72.

What is the Security Panel Update 1.0?
This update addresses an issue with the Intrusion Protection feature on your device.

When you are using password protection for your handheld, your device records the number of times you enter an incorrect password. When the correct password is entered, Intrusion Protection ideally should reset incorrect password attempts to zero. Instead, the total number of incorrect attempts is incremented. Once the threshold value of incorrect attempts is reached, Intrusion Protection will erase user data.

What is Intrusion Protection?

Your device lets you set the number of attempts to enter an incorrect password before triggering the Intrusion Protection feature. When Intrusion Protection is triggered because the incorrect password was entered too many times, you can choose to have your device delete nothing, erase all records marked as Private, or permanently delete all data.

What issue is addressed by the Security Panel Update 1.0?

This update allows your device to reset the incorrect password counter to zero each time you enter the correct password.
