Password Manager — Manual iPhone, iPad and Android

Getting started

What you need

The app works with keychains you created in Steganos Password Manager or Steganos Privacy Suite on Windows. New keychains cannot be created in the app. If you don't have a keychain yet, first create one on your PC (see the Windows manual).

There are two ways to bring the keychain to your phone or tablet:

  1. Via cloud storage (recommended): the Windows program stores the keychain encrypted with Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or MagentaCLOUD. The app connects to the same cloud account and keeps the keychain in sync on all your devices. See Cloud sync.
  2. As a file, without any cloud account: you copy the keychain files from your PC to the device. Later changes are not synced automatically this way. See Transferring a keychain without the cloud.

The first start

When you start the app for the first time, the "Get started" screen appears: "Connect the cloud storage where your Steganos Password Manager keychain is saved to use it on this device."

  • To use cloud sync, tap the provider your keychain is stored with: "Dropbox", "Google Drive", "OneDrive" or "MagentaCLOUD". Sign in to your cloud account (see Cloud sync). Your keychains then appear in the keychain list.
  • To bring in a keychain as a file instead, tap the gear icon ("Settings") at the bottom and use "Import & export" → "Keychain File Transfer" → "Import keychain…" (see Transferring a keychain without the cloud).

Then tap the keychain in the list and enter its master password (see Opening and locking a keychain).

On the next starts

The app starts with the keychain list ("Select Keychain"). If you have set a default keychain, the app asks for its password (or Face ID, Touch ID or fingerprint) straight away and opens it; see Default keychain.

Phone and tablet

On a phone, the entry list and the entry details are separate screens: tap an entry to open it, and go back to return to the list. On an iPad or Android tablet, the list is on the left and the selected entry on the right.

News

If there is news about the Password Manager, a bell icon appears at the bottom of the keychain list and at the top of an open keychain. A red dot marks news you haven't read yet. Tap the bell to open "News".
