3.5 Logging In 

After initialization, the Select User screen displays for logging in. Here you can create a new user or select the 
user’s  name to log in. If a password is required, a pop up window will ask for the password.  

 

 

Figure 9: Select User Screen 

 

 

Figure 10 Enter Password (optional) 

Entering the incorrect password will deny access. If the user does not require a password, Irys will automatically 
log in  as the selected user. The system is designed to allow each user to create a password in order to prevent 
users from accidentally 

logging in as the wrong user and overwriting another’s files. It is not a security feature; the 

password log is not a hidden file.
