Adding Passwords from a Website

It is also simple to add passwords as you are logging into a site. JumpCloud Password Manager prompts you to save passwords as you are logging in. You are also prompted to use a generated password, which is one of the key things users can do to increase online security.

• When creating an account, after entering an email or creating a username, you are prompted to generate a unique password.
  
  • If needed, you can select to Modify Password Options.
    
  • From either step, you can choose to Ignore, to dismiss the prompt, or Fill Form.
    
• Select Add to save the Username and Password, or select the Edit icon to clarify details.
  • You can also select a specific folder to save this item into, if that folder has previously been created in the browser extension.
    
  • Selecting Exclude Website disables the browser extension for this particular URL; a list of these can be viewed by going to Settings > Excluded Websites.
• The next time you log into this site, if only one login exists for this site and the Autofill setting is enabled, JumpCloud Password Manager will auto-fill the Username and Password fields.
• If more than one login exists for the site, you will be given a list of options to choose from, ordered with the most recently used on top.
