How to Use Windows Based Security

Overview

When Windows Based Security is enabled, you will no longer be prompted to log into PasswordVault.  Instead, PasswordVault detects your Windows credentials and automatically logs you into PasswordVault each time you start your machine, or log onto Windows,

How it Works

PasswordVault compares your Windows logon credentials with the values stored in PasswordVault.  If they match, PasswordVault automatically logs you into the application and opens the PasswordVault.  If your machine id used by multiple users, the Windows Based Security feature will detect each user's credentials and automatically log them into the correct PasswordVault.

NOTE  Your PasswordVault credentials do not have to match your Windows credentials.
