Overview

Password manager allows for saving and managing the passwords of your application and website accounts. Define passwords manually or generate them automatically. The passwords are stored in a password container which is a file with the .dat extension. The. .dat file is automatically encrypted with the AES 256 encryption algorithm. Access this container via a password for the password manager. The password for the container is required each time you access the Password manager.

The Password Manager tab displays your password entries once the password for the container is entered. For details, see Using password container.
The Storage settings tab allows for configuring the settings for securing the data of the container. For details, see Creating a backup copy, Backup settings.
