Go to the Password Manager Function Module
You can click the 'Password Manager' button on the navigation panel to go to the Password Manager function module.
It can manage information such as your passwords, registration codes, email accounts and FTP accounts. The guidelines below use passwords as an example.
For consideration of information security, passwords are stored in encrypted format.
Navigation Panel
You can click a button such as 'Password' or 'Software Registration Code' at the top of the navigation panel to switch to the corresponding type of password management.
Passwords can be managed by group. You can click 'New Group' on the 'Actions' menu to create a new password group. 'Other Passwords' is the default group in EfficientPIM. If a password does not belong to any custom group, it will belong to the 'Other Passwords' group. You can not delete or rename the 'Other Passwords' group, or add a subgroup for it.
If you click the name of a group, passwords belonging to this group appear in the password list on the right.
When you right-click the name of a group on the group list, you can rename or delete this group.
Drag and drop is supported when you manage groups. You can drag 'Group A' to 'Group B' to make it a subgroup of 'Group B'; and you can also drag 'Group A' to 'All Passwords' or 'Other Passwords' to make it a normal group (i.e. a group that is not a subgroup of any other group).
Password Display List
The password display list is on the right side of the main window. When you right-click the list, a popup menu appears. You can double-click a password to open it in the edit password window. If you double-click some blank space in the list, the window to add a new password will display.
If you press 'Ctrl+N', the window to add a new password will appear; when you press 'Ctrl+O', the window to edit the currently selected password will appear; and when you press 'Ctrl+D', the currently selected password will be deleted and moved to the Recycle Bin.
By default, passwords in the list are displayed in the form '****'. You can click the 'Hide Password' button on the toolbar to switch between display modes: to display passwords in the form '****' or in plain text.
You can manage the grouping of passwords by drag and drop. You can drag a password in the list directly into a group in the navigation panel on the left.
Add New Password and Edit Password
The window to add a new password and to edit a password is the same.
By default, the password box in a new password window uses the form '****'. You can click the 'Hide password' check box to switch between display modes: to display the password in the form '****' or in plain text.
After you have entered all the information of the password in the new password window, press 'Ctrl+S' to save it.
