#1569 Inconsistent terminology - Safe Combination, Master Password

[Mitch Ames]

Currently the program (at v3.61) and help file are not consistent in their use of the terms "Safe Combination" and "Master Password".

The initial dialog has title "Safe Combination Entry" and field label "Safe Combination" and checkbox "Show Combination", and having unlocked the safe I can "Change Safe Combination".
But if I look in File, Properties it tells me when the "Master Password" was last set.

The help file uses "Master Password" in many places, except where referring to the specific dialog - although under Password Safe Menus, Manage Menu, it says "Change Safe Combination... brings up the Change Safe Password dialog". The Changing Master Passwords page explicitly uses both terms together "To change a master password ("Safe Combination"), ..."

It would be helpful, especially for new or inexperienced users, if you picked one term and used it consistently throughout.

I agree. Calling the master password "Safe Combination" made sense perhaps when the concept of passwords was new to the general public, but I think that in 2023 we can safely (sorry) assume that most people are familiar with the concept.

3.62 will consistently use the term "Master Password" and its translated equivalents.
