# Gérer la clé principale

Utilisez ***Fichier*** – ***Gérer la clé principale*** pour chiffrer votre espace de travail SQLite ou XML.

La clé principale empêche les utilisateurs non autorisés d'accéder à l'espace de travail sans la connaître. Il est fortement recommandé d'appliquer une clé principale à l'espace de travail si vous utilisez Remote Desktop Manager dans un environnement portable (c'est-à-dire, une clé USB, un disque dur USB).

{% hint style="danger" %}
Si vous perdez votre clé principale, Devolutions ne peut pas récupérer vos données. Assurez-vous de mémoriser votre clé principale ou de la sauvegarder dans un endroit sûr.
{% endhint %}
