Passwordstate Documentation

Passwords Home ​

Clicking On the Passwords Home icon, displayed in the image below, will be a filtered view of all Password Lists you have access to.

Note: Some of these features detailed below may be hidden or disabled for you, depending on your access rights, and what settings have been applied to the various Password Lists you have access to.

On this screen you can:

  • Search for Passwords across all the Password Lists you have access to (from Passwords Home), or all passwords within the selected Folder. Note: To perform an exact match search, enclose your search term in double quotes i.e. "root_admin"
  • View and access Passwords you've recently used i.e. viewed/editing/copied to clipboard, etc
  • View your tagged Favorite Passwords
  • View your tagged Favorite Password Lists
  • View some basic auditing statistics data
  • Customize the screen by clicking on the Screen Options button
  • You can edit/view a password by clicking on the hyperlink in the Title column
  • You can view a password on the screen by clicking the masked ******* (the speed at which the password is again hidden can be control by your Security Administrators)
  • You can copy a password to the clipboard by clicking on the icon (The clipboard can be cleared after a set time, which is set by your Security Administrators)
  • You can perform various 'Password Actions' by selecting the appropriate menu option from the Actions drop-down menu

Note: For the Recent Passwords Grid, none of the icons next to the Title field will be visible, due to performance reasons. When there are thousands of recent auditing records for a user, having these icons could cause performance issues due to the volume of data.

Dashboard Layout Tab ​

The Dashboard Layout tab allows you to select which Panels you would like to display, and in which Zone position. You can drag-n-drop the Panels around within the different Zones, so they appear in the position you like.
