Passwords

 

Identity Finder will locate Passwords without requiring you to provide any personal information.  It uses the AnyFind proprietary technology to find series of characters that represent Passwords.  If you want to always be sure to search for a specific Password, you should add your password to the Unique Identity Include List.  If you want to search for only a specific Password, you should disable AnyFind and add your password to the Unique Identity Include List.  Passwords can be used to authenticate you online, so searching for this Identity Match Type is of critical importance.

 

By default, Identity Finder will always search for Passwords using AnyFind.  However, you may customize this behavior.

 

If you are using the Startup Wizard, you can select or deselect the "Passwords" option and you can choose to add specific, unique Passwords to the search.

 

If you are not using the Startup Wizard, you can enable or disable AnyFind searching for Passwords by clicking the "Password" button on the What to Search For ribbon.  When the button has an orange highlight, it is enabled and Identity Finder will use AnyFind searching.  You can also Add a Password to the Unique Identity Include List via the Include List page of the "Identity Finder Personal Information File" dialog box (you can open this dialog box by pushing the Add/Remove Information button on the What to Search for ribbon).  Within that dialog box, when Password is selected in the "Identity Type" drop down box, you can check or uncheck the "Enable Automatic Search for Password" to change your AnyFind settings for Passwords.  The ribbon button will update automatically to reflect any changes you make here.

 

Note: When entering a unique Passwords, it must be between 3 and 25 characters.
