Useful note:
Your TXTLock data file is encrypted with: Password + PIN + TXTLock private key.If you want to use your TXTLock data file on another machine or a different folder then you need to export your TXTLock private key (use 'export key') and copy it in the TXTLock folder of the new destination. TXTLock will use this private key file automatically to decrypt your TXTLock data file.
Note: TXTLock creates for every TXTLock data file a different private key!
