## Exporting or Importing Encrypted Passwords

-
The SSMA Console application allows you to export encrypted database passwords present in a file on the local machine to a secured file and vice-versa. It helps in making the encrypted passwords machine independent. Export functionality reads the server id and password from the local protected storage and saves the information in an encrypted file. The user is prompted to enter the password for the secured file. Make sure the password entered is 8 characters length or more. This secured file is portable across different machines. Import functionality reads the server id and password information from the secured file. The user is prompted to enter the password for the secured file and appends the information to the local protected storage.
