Moving Passwords to Vault

The Password Vault is your secure, encrypted storage solution for all your login credentials. Moving passwords from your browser to the vault provides military-grade encryption while maintaining the convenience of auto-fill functionality.

Why Move Passwords to the Vault?

• Military-Grade Encryption - Your passwords are encrypted using AES-256 encryption
• Cross-Device Sync - Access your passwords on all your devices
• Secure Auto-Fill - Automatically fill login forms securely
• Password Generator - Create strong, unique passwords for new accounts
• Zero-Knowledge Security - Only you can decrypt your passwords

How to Move Passwords to Vault

Step 1: Scan for Login Credentials

1. Open Activate Security application
2. Navigate to the "Password Vault" section
3. Click "Scan for Login Credentials"
4. Wait for the scan to complete

Step 2: Select Passwords to Move

1. Review the list of found credentials
2. Check the boxes next to passwords you want to move to the vault
3. You can select all or choose specific accounts

Step 3: Transfer to Vault

Step 4: Set Your Master Password (First Time Only)

If this is your first time using the Password Vault, you'll be prompted to create a master password:

1. Choose a strong, memorable master password
2. This password encrypts all your vault data
3. Store it safely - it cannot be recovered if forgotten
4. Confirm your master password

After Moving to Vault

Once your passwords are in the vault, you can:

• Access them from any device with Activate Security installed
• Use auto-fill to log into websites securely
• Add new passwords manually or through auto-capture
• Generate strong passwords for new accounts
• Share passwords securely with trusted contacts

Using Auto-Fill

When you visit a login page:

1. The Activate Security browser extension will detect the login form
2. Click the extension icon to view available credentials
3. Select the account you want to use
4. Your credentials will be securely filled in

Best Practices

• Use a Strong Master Password - Combine letters, numbers, and symbols
• Don't Reuse Your Master Password - Keep it unique to your vault
• Enable Two-Factor Authentication - Add an extra security layer when available
• Regular Backups - Export encrypted backups of your vault periodically
• Update Weak Passwords - Use the password generator to replace weak ones
