can you hide an identity?
 

I have two separate identities within my OE 6, one for personal email and
one for business. For various reasons, I would like to hide my business
identity when someone else is on my laptop. I know how to set up a password,
but those are easily cracked. Is it possible to remove the identity from the
switch identity box and otherwise make it invisible except to me?

Thanks
Pamela

No.

Workaround: Create a separate, password-protected User Account for business
purposes, create a new Named Identity in the new User Account, import the
data from the other "business" identity into the new one, and then delete
(File Manage identities) the old one.
