    While cleaning up my computer, my Password Padlock converted to access thru One Drive. How do I return it to the original access for Padlock? The One Drive version has only a few of the passwords on it and I need access to all of my passwords.

  2. I want to lock just one application – Windows 10 Mail application that contains 5 of our email accounts. Is such selective locking available in Password Padlock?
