# Enable glide KMF encrypter \[Removed in Security Center 1.3.2\]

Manage the encrypters used for Password2 fields on your instance.

Use the **glide.kmf.encrypter.enabled** property to set KMF encrypter as the default encrypter for Password2 fields. This property ensures that strong and compliant encryption standards are being used instead of a legacy encrypter. To ensure that KMF encrypter is used instead of the legacy encrypter, set this property to **true**.
