Tip: If you are registered on the same resource for multiple logins, the program will ask you to add the first
account and then will apply this account further. To add another login, please use a special hotkey
combination “Control + Alt + A” to create a new account in Hideez Safe Password manager.
Automatic Password Generation
When you create new credentials for web, it is convenient to use an automatic password generation. The
generated password will be unique and secure. To create it press the “Generate” button while editing the
account. A generated password can be seen by clicking on the icon. Then save your account, go to the
registration page in the browser and use the stored password in both fields in order to enter and confirm the
password.
Tip: Always create unique passwords for different services. If someone does manage to compromise of one of
the passwords, the other passwords will not be affected.
Changing Password
It is often necessary to change the password on any of the web resources. You usually need to enter the old
password, then enter the new one and confirm it. First, use the key fob to enter the old password. Then open
the Hideez Safe box, go to the password manager, search for the necessary account and open it for editing. In
the editing window, click “Change Password” and the “Generate” button. Then save your account, open the
browser and use the new password.
Tip: If an error occurs on the web server before the password change is complete, you can use the backup
data copy to load the initial password to the key fob and repeat the procedure again. Please remember, that
this procedure restores the whole Hideez Key memory including other Password Manager items.
Adding and Entering Passwords in Desktop Applications
Hideez Safe can enter credentials into web pages, as well as into applications. Just place the cursor on the
input field of the login and password, and press the appropriate hotkey combination, or the key fob button.
The program determines the current active window, gets the window title and the name of the program
process and tries to find the information for the appropriate account. Just as with websites, if there is no
corresponding account, you will be asked to add a new one.
The "Application or website" field will be automatically filled in with the window title. This field will be used to
search for the account. You can remove irrelevant words from this field. The search will use the following
algorithm: the account is considered to be a match if every word of this field can be found in the title of the
window where the password is being entered. This field can include several lines; each line is processed
independently. So, you can set up an account for several different programs.
The "Account Name" field is also automatically filled in with the window title. You can enter any name here.
The "Login" field should be filled in manually. If you entered the login earlier, you can select it from the drop-
down list. Logins are removed from the list automatically when they are no longer being used.
The "Password" field must be filled in manually.
After filling in all the fields, click “Save”, and then return to the window, where you need to enter your
password and press the key combination again. The password will be entered automatically. Similarly, you can
enter your username or OTP.
Adding Passwords Manually
You can also add a new account for the selected program using the Hideez Safe interface. First, press the “+”
in the Password Manager as it shown on the picture below.
