Read the following to discover how to search for a password or category in LockPass.

All users can search for passwords or categories in their Personal Space and Shared Space.

Using the "Search" field located in the top left, you can search for:

  • a category by its name
  • a password by its name, URL, or tags
🚨It will not be possible to search for a password based on username, password, description, or optional information. For example, if you want to search for a password by its username, you can work around this by creating a tag with the username.

The search applies to both Personal Space and Shared Space.

To search for a password or category, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Type your search in the "Search" field, at the top left
🚨If searching for a password with multiple tags, separate them with semicolons in the search bar (example: Tag1;Tag2;Tag3).
  • Step 2: Specify whether your search is for a tag, or for a word contained in the name and URL of a password or in the name of a category (choose the "Keywords (text search)" option).
