Fill in your Ideals credentials into the Email and Password fields. They are the same as you use for entering the project.

💡 For example, my password is Ideals, and I received the code 123456. Then I should insert Ideals#123456 in the password field.
We recommend keeping one encrypted file open, in case you plan to work with multiple encrypted documents. This way, you won't have to enter your credentials each time you open a new file. Make sure to close all files once you're done.
