Password Manager — Manual iPhone, iPad and Android

Settings

You open the settings with the gear icon at the bottom of the keychain list, or in an open keychain via "…" → "Settings". On a phone, all sections are shown one below the other; on a tablet, the sections are listed on the left.

Some settings are only available while no keychain is open (the cloud connection and the keychain file transfer), others only while a keychain is open (export to another app).

A red dot on the gear icon points to a problem that needs your attention, for example a lost cloud connection. The settings then open at the section concerned.

Keychain

"Default Keychain": the keychain that opens right after the app starts; "None" turns this off. On iPhone and iPad it is also the keychain for AutoFill. See Default keychain.

Cloud

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

Security

  • "Authentication Timeout": how long the app can be in the background before it asks for Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint or the password again: "Always verify", 1 to 30 minutes or "No timeout". See Locking automatically.
  • "Unlock with Face ID" (or Touch ID, fingerprint): shows for how many keychains unlocking with your face or fingerprint is set up. "Reset biometric unlock" removes it for all keychains on this device, in the app and for AutoFill. You switch it on per keychain when opening it.
  • "Allow screenshots" (Android only): screenshots and the app switcher preview are normally blocked to protect your data. Only switch this on when you need a screenshot, e.g. for support.

AutoFill:

  • "AutoFill in browsers and apps" shows whether AutoFill is set up ("Enabled" / "Not enabled"). "Open AutoFill settings" opens the matching system setting.
  • Android only: "Keychain for AutoFill", "Suggestions before unlocking" and "Offer to save passwords"; see AutoFill on Android.
  • "Show AutoFill onboarding again" brings back the "Set up AutoFill" hint if you chose "Don't show again".

See AutoFill on iPhone and iPad and AutoFill on Android.

Import & export

  • "Keychain File Transfer": "Import keychain…" and "Export keychain…" copy keychains between your PC and the device without the cloud; see Transferring a keychain without the cloud. Only available while no keychain is open.
  • "Export to another app" (iPhone and iPad from iOS 26): hands the open keychain to another password app; see Moving passwords between apps.

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 on this device. Only needed if support asks you to.
  • "Send log to Steganos support": transmits log entries to Steganos support while it is switched on. Only switch it on if support asks you to, and give support the "Log ID" shown below (tap it to copy).
  • "Send Log by E-Mail" creates an e-mail with the log to Steganos support; please describe your problem in it. "Copy Log" copies the log to the clipboard, "Clear Log" deletes it.

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