Securing the Odoo database manager

In addition, you can set a master password for the Odoo database manager. Simply click the Set Master Password button and you can specify a password. Unlike setting a password for the SILKWORM-DEV database we created in the previous step, this password is to prevent access to the database manager.

This is a very important step in securing an Odoo installation and you should take the warning seriously. If you do not set this password, then anyone can perform all these operations.
