In addition, the use of a local database ensures that passwords can be accessed even when no

Functions

The functionalities of password management, SSO, synchronization and tab system are even more extensive and detailed in the specially created documentation.

Password management

The new Netwrix Password Secure mobile app keeps all passwords safe. They can not only be stored securely but also structured conveniently.

The most important convenience feature of the Netwrix Password Secure Mobile app is the possibility of entering passwords directly into log-in masks of other apps or browser pages. The configuration and correct use can be found out in the corresponding chapters for iOS and Android.

Synchronization

Since the data exchange between mobile database and server database is done automatically in the background, there is no need to worry about the actuality of the data.

Tab system

With the new and simplified tab system, the handling for the individual user has been made uncomplicated and clear. The affiliation of the passwords is visible at a glance. The exact handling of the tab system can be read in the chapter Tabs.

Password Management

In principle, there are two types of passwords. Global and personal passwords.

Global passwords

Global passwords are passwords that are assigned to an organizational unit. These passwords are usually used by more than one user.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be met in order to create new global passwords:

• User right Can create new passwords
• Add right to the corresponding organizational unit

Personal passwords

Personal passwords are passwords to which only the creating user is authorized.

Requirement

The following user rights are required to create personal passwords:

• Can create new passwords
• Can create personal records

Create passwords

When creating a new record, it is necessary to know whether it is a personal or a global password. Because according to this criterion you should select the appropriate tab and click on the + located in the upper right corner.

After that, select the required form.

Then, once you have filled in all the relevant information of the selected form, one click on Save is enough to create the password.
