The Session Manager can be in a pane in the SecureCRT window or can be an undocked modeless dialog. - Added a global option to store personal data such as usernames and passwords in a location separate from the rest of the session data, which allows personal data to be kept private while other configuration data is stored on a network drive or on the cloud so that it can be used on different systems or shared with colleagues. - Windows/Mac: Added the ability to zoom a session (increase or decrease the font size) using CTRL+ or CTRL+"+" or CTRL+"-".
