Reorganize your OTPs in Authenticator
Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) that leverages one-time passwords (OTPs) is a quick and easy way to add a layer of security to your accounts. However, managing multiple OTP entries in Authenticator can be cumbersome, especially if you often find yourself scrolling to find the right one. Simplify this process by prioritizing the most important entries at the top. You can easily rearrange them by dragging and dropping entries to suit your preferences.
Back up your Authenticator OTPs
As with any crucial data, it’s essential to back up your Authenticator entry codes to ensure you can restore them if needed, such as after changing devices or losing one. If your organization uses Devolutions Cloud, you can store backups in your user vault.
To enable cloud backups, navigate to Settings > Authenticator in the Password Manager mobile app and activate the Use cloud backup option. Select your Cloud (or add a new one if necessary with Add space +) to start securing your OTPs.
To access your backups directly, go to the Authenticator App folder in your Cloud vault.
Automatically fill in your username and password in an app or website
As you use your device to consult mobile apps and websites, the task of copying and entering credentials or other information can become rather tedious. Whether your credentials are stored in Devolutions Cloud, or Devolutions Server, Password Manager can automate this task for you.
Enable autofill in Password Manager’s general settings and authorize it on your device as your preferred service. Ensure that your space is synchronized, and you’re all set!
When prompted to sign in on an app or website:
- iOS: Tap “passwords” at the top of your keyboard to bring up Password Manager, which will display the entry (or entries) ready to be used for autofill. Select the appropriate one, and Password Manager will take care of the rest!
- Android: Tap the entry displayed at the top of your keyboard, and Password Manager will autofill the entry for you.
Use Password Manager in offline mode
The Password Manager mobile app, like its desktop counterpart, maintains an offline cache, enabling you to work without an internet connection.
Regularly accessing your vaults keeps the offline cache updated. Whether you face a network outage or choose to work offline, you can continue accessing your data seamlessly.
To enable offline mode, go to Settings > Security and privacy > Go offline.
Add security to unlock Password Manager
Protecting your mobile device is crucial, and securing your Password Manager app is just as important. Enable biometric locking to add an extra layer of security.
After setting up biometric locking on your device, enable it in Password Manager under Settings > Security and privacy > Use biometric lock.
