With the Advanced Settings. you can adjust the Bluetooth signal levels to lock or unlock the PC. The left border
is set for the locking level of the signal. When the level drops below this value, the computer will be locked.
There is a few-second delay to ensure that the signal level has actually dropped. This reduces the possibility of
a false lock from random interference on the radio channel.
The level of the signal unlock is on the right. If the level goes above this value, Your PC can be unlocked either
manually or automatically. The current signal level is shown in an indicator above the settings for the signal
levels. Use this indicator to find a specific value at which to lock and unlock your PC. Set the lower signal
threshold 20% higher to avoid locking it accidentally.
The "Do not switch the screen automatically" option is disabled by default. This means that when you
approach the computer and the signal level reaches the upper value, the screen is turned on. Your computer
will be unlocked and you will see the desktop without even touching your computer. If this option is enabled,
you will need to press Enter or swipe the lock screen (on devices with touch screens).
Note: All your previous input methods can be also used.
9.4. Password Manager
Hideez Key can store any credentials. The number of passwords and logins is limited only by the amount of
available internal memory (72 KB). These credentials can be entered into any application or web browser.
Android 5.0 and above allows you to automatically input credentials or credentials can also be entered by
clicking the key fob button or by pressing keyboard hotkeys (for Windows).
The Hideez Password Manager uses the term “account” that is a combination of a username and a password,
OTP secret key and the account name. Detailed information about one-time passwords can be found in the
"One-time passwords" section. Account names help users to distinguish accounts in the list. Account names
must be unique or contain different logins. By default, the account name matches the domain of the web site,
the title of the application for Android or the window title for Windows applications.
Along with these fields, accounts also contain additional information about account usage. The root domain
name is added for a web site; an Android package name is added for Android applications and the title of the
program window is added for Windows applications. Web sites information is common for all operating
systems and will be visible on any device. However, specific information about Android or Windows
applications is only displayed in the corresponding OS.
All information is stored in the key fob, but not on PCs or phones. Accounts that you store on your device are
shared and can be seen on all devices. This option helps to avoid the problem of data synchronization
between devices without using cloud storage.
A single Password manager account can be linked to multiple web-sites or applications, including different
operating systems. If a password was changed, all the linked applications and sites will automatically use the
new password.
9.4.1. Working with Passwords in Android
Launch the password manager from the main application window. When you launch the program for the first
time, the program will ask your permission to enter passwords automatically and will open the Android
settings window. Please, allow Hideez Safe access, enabling the appropriate radio button.
Hideez Safe can automatically input passwords into applications and web pages on the device with Android
5.0 or higher. To turn off this feature, turn the ‘Insert automatically’ switch off. On Android version, lower than
5.0, credentials can be entered using the key fob button. The program is set to double-click, but you can
change these settings in the “Actions” section.
