The Password Vault tool allows you to securely store and manage usernames and passwords for websites, encrypted files, and other locations inside of Identity Finder and protect them with a single, master password. The master password is the same password you use to secure other personal information within Identity Finder. There are two ways to access the Password Vault tool:
Click the Password Vault button on the Tools and Options ribbon.
Click the Application Menu button in the upper left corner of Identity Finder, then highlight Tools, then highlight and left-click "Password Vault..."
Once selected, the Password Vault dialog will open. Enter any Location, Comment, Username, and/or Password then click Add. After entering your master password, your information will be stored securely. At no point does Identity Finder attempt to validate that the usernames or passwords that you place in the password vault are correct, therefore, it is necessary for you to ensure that you type them in correctly.
When you are performing a search you can add passwords into your Vault very quickly. If you right-click on a Hidden Web Data password result, the menu includes the option to "Add to Password Vault." Selecting this action will copy the selected location, username, and password into the Password Vault. This action does not delete the Hidden Web Data, so you should make sure to also click the "Shred" button, if you do not want someone else to be able to obtain this password.
When you are performing Secure actions like encrypting a document with a password, you can add passwords you create into your Vault very quickly. Simply click the "Securely store this password in your Password Vault" as depicted below:
If you need to modify an existing entry of your Password Vault, simply highlight the entry in the top part of the Vault then click the Edit button. All the information will be moved into the edit fields below. After you have completed your changes do not forget to click the Add button so your password goes back into the Vault.
If you would like to quickly and easily open a document or visit a website contained within your Password Vault, simply double click the highlighted entry. You may also click the Open button after highlighting an entry.
Note: All the information you enter will be saved to your Personal Information File (PIF). If you did not load this file on startup or you want to revert your changes to the last time you saved, you may press the "Load PIF" button. If you want your changes saved to your PIF, click the "Save PIF" button.
If you do not want your passwords displayed at all times to protect yourself from someone glancing over your shoulder to see them when the Vault is open, click the Mask button. To display your passwords, click Unmask.
