Managing Passwords

Password List

What You See

When you open Passwords from the Vault Hub, you see a scrollable list of all your saved password entries. Each entry shows:

  • The account name (e.g., "Gmail", "Netflix")
  • The email or username associated with it
  • The website URL (if you entered one)

At the top is a search bar to quickly find entries.

On phones, a "Add Password" button floats at the bottom right. On desktop, you see a split view — the list on the left (380px wide) and the selected entry's details on the right.

Password History:

  • If you've changed this password before, a card shows how many previous passwords are saved. Tap to view the full history (up to 10 previous passwords).

Clipboard auto-clear: When you copy any sensitive field, the clipboard automatically clears after 30 seconds. A message confirms this.

Biometric re-authentication: If biometric unlock is enabled in your settings, revealing the password requires you to authenticate with your fingerprint, face, or master password first. This prevents someone who picks up your unlocked phone from seeing your passwords.
