# Safe mode

There are three modes that you can decide how you’d like to be warned when you run a query:

| Safemode         | Icon                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       | Description                                                                                |

You can change the safe mode by pressing the lock icon on top. You might be required to enter the database password when changing the safe mode. You can also config to use your device's password/TouchID unlock the Safe Mode from the app's preferences:

* Navigate to menu **`TablePlus`** > **`Preferences...,`** or use shortcut keys **`⌘ + ,`**
* Switch to **`Crash & Security`** tab
* Tick on **`Allow the computer's password/TouchID to unlock Safemode`**
