Benefits

No more easily lost scraps of paper! ONLINE =

Access your data from any computer, 24/7 No downloading software

Lots of password managers out there KeePass, Clipperz, Passbay, Passpack Some are computer specific & require a

download Some are online Some are both

I recommend Passpack!

Changing Settings

Packing and Saving

Set a default time for Passpack to lock up your account if it is inactive If you enable 1 Click Auto-login, this won’t

matter Auto-save changes, yes or no?

Choose NO if you want to save your changes manually

Choose YES if you want it to save all changes automatically

Startup Options

Pick which tab you would like to open first Home is the default I prefer changing this to Passwords

What to do next? Unpack everything, just Favorites, or a

variety of other options I prefer “unpack everything – then turn on

1 Click Login”

Welcome Message

Customize a welcome message Provides protection against phishing attacks

Say YES to the 8 boxes screen

Make sign in easier with “Remember Me” But only if your computer isn’t shared!

Auto-login & 1 Click Login

Great way to speed up logging in to your accounts!

Turn auto-login on

Install your button in your bookmarks

How 1 Click Login Works

Keep Passpack open in a separate tab in your browser

Go to the login page for the site you want to use

Click your Passpack It! button to login automatically

If you have multiple logins saved for that site, Passpack will let you choose which one to use

Voila!

Lock it up or Logout

Lock up your account if leaving your computer unattended

OR Logout when you’re all done
