Personal Passwords

There is provision for storing personal passwords in the Password Manager Pro web interface. For example, you can store your personal email accounts, credit card numbers, banking accounts, contact addresses, phone numbers, email addresses etc. These information can be accessed only by you and not by anyone else.

1. Encrypt Personal Passwords

To gain access to the Personal tab, you must provide an encryption passphrase. While using the Personal tab in Password Manager Pro is optional, administrators can enforce creation of an encryption passphrase for all users from the General Settings. To set a strong password policy, go to Settings >> General Settings page or navigate to Admin >> Resource Config >> Password Policies and customize password polices as per your requirement.

Follow the below steps to set an encryption passphrase for your Personal tab:

1. Navigate to the Personal tab.
2. Enter a complex passphrase. Click the tool-tip icon for the passphrase complexity rules.
3. Enter your passphrase again to confirm it and click Save.

Password Manager Pro will use this passphrase to encrypt your data. Ensure that the passphrase you create is long and obeys the complexity rules for enhanced security. Whenever you need to access personal passwords in the Personal tab, you need to supply this passphrase. Remember, if you forget your passphrase, there is no way to retrieve your personal data.

If the administrator disables the option that allows user to choose their own passphrase for the personal passwords section, Password Manager Pro provides options to choose an encryption method for securing the data stored in the Personal tab. Please note that all your personal passwords will be encrypted and stored in the database. Password Manager Pro will encrypt your personal data based on the encryption key you choose to use based on the options given below:

Option 1: Use my encryption key and do not store it: If you choose this option, all your passwords will be encrypted using the encryption key you set up below. Note that this key will not be stored in the Password Manager Pro database. To access your personal passwords you will have to supply this key every time and if you forget this key you will lose all your passwords. This is the recommended option for achieving a high level of security for your sensitive personal data. In choosing not to store the encryption key, the risk of it getting exposed and compromising your passwords is significantly low.

Option 2: Use my encryption key and store it: If you choose this option, all your passwords will be encrypted using the key you supply below and the key will be stored securely in the Password Manager Pro database. During the subsequent password retrievals you need not specify the key and it is also not necessary that you remember this key.

Option 3: Use Password Manager Pro's encryption key: All your passwords will be encrypted with the same key as the enterprise passwords. You don't have to supply or remember any encryption keys.

Choose the required encryption method, enter your encryption passphrase and click Save to save the changes.
