The LockSelf browser extension can be used by all users. It allows you to perform different actions, such as adding new passwords
___________________________________________________________________________
The browser extension will allow you to add new passwords, in the Personal Space or the Shared Space, when creating a new account for a website.
You will need to download the browser extension first: the extension can be used on Chrome or Edge.
With the auto-add pop-up
- Step 1 : Go to the account creation page of the website where you want to create a new account, and enter your login information (username, password)
- Use the password generator, available in the Generator tab of the extension, to generate a strong and robust password, then click on « Autofill » to have the new password filled in the corresponding field on the website
|
🚨 With the generator, choose the number of characters of your password, and whether it should contain upper or lower case letters, numbers or special characters, and generate a random password according to these settings. |
- Step 2 : Once all the username and password are filled in, validate and create your account on the website.
- Step 3 : On the self-addition pop-up that appears on the left, fill in the additional fields if needed (description, additional information 1, 2 and 3) and click on « Add ».
Your password and its information will be automatically saved in your safe.
| 🚨When you will log in using the auto-complete login and password, and manually change any of the fields after auto-completion, the auto-add pop-up will not appear. |
From the extension menu
- Step 1 : Go to the account creation page of the website where you want to create a new account, and click on the LockSelf extension in the top right corner next to the search bar, and on the window that appears, click on « Add a password » in the Login tab.
- Step 2 : Define the elements related to your password :
- the URL of the website's login page (this will be filled in automatically)
- the location of your new password : by default, the root of your Personal Space will be filled in, but you will be able to change it and choose a specific category of the Personal Space or the Shared Space
- the name of the password (the name of the website for example)
- the username (the email address used)
- the password (you can use the password generator)
- a description and other information (these elements are optional : click on « Add a description/option » to reveal the fields)
Then click on « Add » : your password will be created and added in the space you specified.
You can then continue the account creation process on the web page.
