    Description

    Tired of forgetting your login information or submitting a password reset form? Are you still sharing passwords with your team via email and Skype hoping they will not be compromised? Remembering login credentials is a thing of the past. Manage all your account passwords from a secure and centralized location.

    The Passwords application allows you to save an unlimited number of security credentials for your most important applications and services.

    Advanced privacy settings allow you to keep this information strictly to yourself or enable sharing for users within your project group.

    The Passwords application is completely secure with 256-bit SSL encryption. Never lose track of another account, and never have your credentials compromised.

    The Passwords application provides an additional and enhanced level of security with an optional master password. Passwords are encrypted in your browser with the master password only you know. We never have your unencrypted data if you use the master password. Even if our servers were hacked your passwords would be safe.

    Features include:

    • Customized password sharing options - share passwords via individual level!
    • Store usernames, passwords, and login links.
    • Standard protection - passwords are encrypted and decrypted on our secure servers and passed to your browser via a secure HTTPS connection
    • Advanced optional and free protection with Host-Proof Hosting

    Freedcamp’s Passwords app is a Project Group Application. We will explain this concept in the below section. 

    This application is a free add-on that is available in our Add-ons.

    Adding/Removing the Passwords add-on

    Please see this documentation article for a guide on installing/removing add-ons and managing user access.

    How to access the Password Manager

    You can access Passwords directly from Projects Board or from a project picker:

    If you have selected a specific project, you will see the Passwords app (2) alongside with your other applications that you have enabled for a project group this project belongs to (1):

    Grouping passwords

    You can create multiple groups to keep related passwords together.

    - Select the cogwheel icon (1) and click on "Manage Password Groups” (2).

    - Click on the “Add Group” button (3) to add a new Password Group.

    - Change the group's order by dragging them (4).

    - Use the edit and delete icons (5) and (6) respectively to edit and delete your Password group.

    NOTE:

    • We give you an additional warning when you are about to delete a password group containing passwords since all passwords in it will be also deleted.

    Permissions

    Any user having access to the Passwords application can add a new entry.

    The project owner (a person who owns a project group) always has access to all the entries.

    The entry can be edited and a password can be accessed/looked at only by those who that entry was shared with.

    Who can delete a password?

    • a user who created it
    • project owner
    • group admin

    Managing passwords

    To add a new entry, use the button 'Add new' (1) in Passwords. If you want to change the Password Group, you can select a different password group (2). You can also optionally use the master password security level (3) - check the Host-Proof Hosting section on this page.

    Every entry's password displayed on the dashboard will be hidden for security purposes. To reveal the password, you need to click on the link named show under the column Password. For passwords secured with the master password, you will additionally need to enter it to see a password.

    Drag and Drop

    Freedcamp allows you to drag and drop passwords within and between your groups. You can also collapse your password groups, more details are illustrated as per below animated GIF file

    Host-Proof Security - Master Password

    The application now supports in-browser encryption and decryption of your passwords with the Master Password. This feature is used by most commercial online password managers.  Check our blog for more details and hands-on instructions. 

    I forgot the Master Password

    If the Master Password is lost passwords cannot be recovered. Please note that a user having access to a password can delete it and the Master Password is not required to be entered for this operation.
