Password Manager — Manual Mac

Settings

Choose "Settings…" in the app menu (⌘,), or click the gear icon below the keychain list. The sections are listed on the left. A red dot on the gear icon points to a problem that needs your attention, for example a lost cloud connection.

Keychain

  • "Default Keychain": the keychain that opens right after starting, and the keychain for AutoFill; "None" turns this off. See Default keychain.
  • "Display" → "Larger text": enlarges all text in the app for easier reading.

Cloud

Shows the connected cloud account. "Connect" and "Disconnect" set up or end cloud sync. Only available while no keychain is open.

Premium / License

In the free version this section is called "Premium" and shows the comparison with Premium and "★ Upgrade to Premium". With Premium it is called "License" and shows your licence, its validity and source, how many devices use it, and your mySteganos account. See Free version and Premium.

Security

  • "Authentication Timeout": how long the app can be inactive before it asks for Touch ID or the master password again: "Always verify", 1 to 30 minutes or "No timeout". See Locking automatically.
  • "Unlock with Touch ID": shows for how many keychains Touch ID is set up. "Reset biometric unlock" removes it for all keychains, in the app and for AutoFill.
  • "AutoFill": shows whether macOS AutoFill is set up; "Open AutoFill settings" opens System Settings. See AutoFill in Safari and other apps.
  • "Browser extension": "Browser autofill" (fill in automatically when a page loads), the list of "Paired browsers" and "Install browser extension…". See Browser extensions.

Import & export

"Record entry origin": adds a dated "Imported from …" note to each imported entry. See Importing passwords and keychains.

Diagnostics & Support

These options help Steganos support analyse a problem. They never contain the contents of your keychain.

  • "Record detailed diagnostics": writes extra technical details to the log. Only needed if support asks you to.
  • "Send log to Steganos support": transmits log entries to Steganos support while switched on. Only switch it on if support asks you to, and give support the "Log ID" shown below (click it to copy).
  • "Send Log by E-Mail" creates an email with the log to Steganos support; please describe your problem in it. "Copy Log" copies the log, "Clear Log" deletes it.

At the bottom you find the version number, the "Terms of Use" and the "Privacy Policy".
