In the previous versions of Puppy that I've used, I've always had the option to choose how to save during the first shutdown. I'd always selected file, and password protected it.
I have two questions:
1. Is this THE way to password protect my OS?
2. Since I wasn't asked to select how I was pupsave to save, using my newly installed 5.2.5, how do move away from the "windows security model" to one that affords me more control?
How do I password protect Puppy Linux 5.2.5

I have not tried 5.2.5 yet, but I suspect it should do the save the same way as before.
Are you sure you didn't see the selection screen in which you could say to say encrypted?
Otherwise report this in the 5.25 feedback and bug report thread in the bugs section

I remember from threads about this, that encrypted save files can be used if more then one user employs the PC. Each one can create his encrypted save file and thus protect some sensible information.
