securely
In protected fashion
Securely means in a way that is safe, stable, or firmly fixed.
A door locked securely won't open easily; a child strapped securely into a car seat won't slip out.
The word often implies protection from risk or threat: Store your passwords securely.
It can also suggest confidence or certainty: She felt securely in control of the situation.
