Worthy of Attention

1. Encryption of image files, audio files & video files using secret keeper may results corrupted outputs. Please make sure to have a backup before trying to encrypt above mentioned file types. (No issue with .txt and .docx file types) Please help me to fix this.

2. Please make sure to remember the encryption key you enter. If you lose it you’ll no longer be able to decrypt your files. If anyone else gains access to it, they’ll be able to decrypt all of your files.
