        So you know those encrypted files you might have? You know how your computer is able to display them? Yeah, you enter the passcode and then it and any information derived from it is (probably, barring special hardware) stored in RAM to in order do that. This isn’t usually an issue because turning your computer off will quickly erase the RAM and it can no longer be used to open that file.
