# User-specific settings encryption migration

The ***User-specific settings*** in Remote Desktop Manager 2022.2 are being migrated to a newer encryption format.

### Scenarios

1. Users who connect for the first time with this new version will receive this warning prompt:

   <figure><img src="https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/docs_en_kb_KB4947.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Options:

* ***Yes***: Will delete the existing ***User-specific settings*** and save a new encrypted version. This will prevent the user to utilize the ***User-specific settings*** with an older version of Remote Desktop Manager
* ***No***: This option will save a new encrypted version of the ***User-specific settings***, but will not delete the existing one. This will allow the user to keep on utilizing the previous ***User-specific settings*** on an older version or on the Remote Desktop Manager mobile version who are not yet updated.

2. While connecting, Remote Desktop Manager detects ***User-specific settings*** that are encrypted from an older Remote Desktop Manager version.

Options:

* ***Merge and Delete***: Will overwrite the encrypted ***User-specific settings*** with the data from the older Remote Desktop Manager and delete it.
* ***Merge***: Will overwrite the encrypted ***User-specific settings*** with the data from the older Remote Desktop Manager
* ***Delete***: The encrypted ***User-specific settings*** data will be kept and the previous one will be deleted.
* ***Cancel***: Nothing is changed.
