Password

1. Click on the gear icon​

Hover over an app to make the gear icon appear, then click on it to access the application settings.

2. Configuration​

Click on the gear icon again to modify the application settings.

3. Set the password​

Fill in the fields that appear: Username, password, and TOTP Secret (key used to generate six-digit codes for two-factor authentication, like Google Authenticator for example).

If the site displays a QR code to enable two-factor authentication, the extension can read the TOTP secret directly on the page: see Add a TOTP secret from a QR code.

Then click on Save.

4. Copy the password​

New buttons appear, allowing you to copy to the clipboard the username, password, or the six-digit code (TOTP).

Add a TOTP secret from a QR code​

When you enable two-factor authentication on a site, it usually displays a QR code to scan with an app like Google Authenticator. The extension can read this QR code directly in the open tab, without a phone: you do not have to manually enter the secret key.

From the application settings​

  1. On the site, display the page that shows the two-factor authentication QR code. The QR code must be visible on the screen: the extension only reads the part displayed on the page, scroll if necessary.
  2. Open the extension, then the application settings (gear icon), tab Credentials.
  3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
  4. Click on the QR code button to the right of the OTP Code field (tooltip "Read the QR code from the page").
  5. The secret key is automatically filled in and the six-digit code is displayed. Click on Save.
  6. Complete the activation on the site by entering the code displayed by the extension.

From the extension settings screen​

To read a QR code without saving it in an application, open the Settings screen of the extension (gear icon at the top of the extension), section TOTP from a QR code, then click on Scan the current page. For each visible TOTP QR code in the current tab, the extension displays the site and account name, the Secret Key, and the Current Code, each with a button to copy. Nothing is saved: paste the secret key wherever you want.

Possible messages​

  • No TOTP QR code visible on the page: the QR code is not displayed on the screen (scroll down the page to find it), or it is not a TOTP two-factor authentication QR code.
  • Unable to read this page: the browser does not allow extensions to read certain pages (internal browser pages, extension stores…).
  • Multiple TOTP QR codes found, the first one has been used: check that the key provided is indeed for the desired account; the Settings screen of the extension displays them all.
  • This key uses non-standard parameters: the site uses an algorithm, number of digits, or duration different from the usual settings (SHA1, 6 digits, 30 seconds). Only the secret key is saved, and the generated codes may not be accepted by the site.
