Did you read anything in this thread? Did you read anything in the config wizard?

It stated, that the configuration window is shown only once,

it states, that configuration files will stay on your device even after reinstalling and installing it again, like it happens with many other apps.

If you want to run the configuration wizard, pleas send a message to yourself with the pass you have configured ("Config" is the default)

Dude - it's confusing and this is coming from a guy who installed OpenVMS/VAX on the N900 AND netBSD inside SIMH lol

Well, it is kind of hard to put so much info on such small device and make people read it

I have not found yet time, to design some more proper UI.

It's not just the UI - the fact that you input a bunch of passwords and never see the thing again makes for terrible usability. Here are my humble suggestions:

- make the user pick a MASTER PASSWORD in like all caps on the first screen upon install
- have the app config present on the phone itself, by using the MASTER PASSWORD to access it - this way, if the user fracks up the config, they can go and change the array of passwords needed
- have only one password! and have all commands derive from it, like:

MASTER PASSWORD block phone
MASTER PASSWORD email reports off
MASTER PASSWORD sms reports on hourly
MASTER PASSWORD take pic of burglar

or something... of course, for this to work you need to intercept the SMS before it's shown (not sure if it's possible). But even if the burglar sees it, it's a good enough arrangement for me to choose it over multiple passes (which is also good).
- have the file with the passwords somewhere known by the user

Hey, just my two cents

Please don't - I praise you for tackling such a difficult problem. But I don't see it working as well as it could as it is now.

It has been requested by the user to have different passwords, at the beginning there were "only" 3

MASTER PASSWORD is considered to be the Config password

However I will think of something, later, for now it works pretty well for those, that have been thinking a bit while configuring or have read stuff in this thread.
