Setup Security Preferences

Before you invite your team to start storing and sharing their passwords, you will first need to configure three different types of security preferences.

  4. Click Edit for each of Assigned Users and Assigned Clients to set which users and clients are associated to the Security Group.
  5. Assign Users/Permissions by selecting them from the left pane and selecting the right arrow button above the column. The double arrows move all in the column.

Two-Factor Authentication – How Users Are Protected

Two-Factor Authentication is optional, but highly recommended. This setting adds an extra level of protection, requiring your users to request an additional form of identification to access their passwords.

Please see Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for the available options and configuration details.
