One of the main benefits of using CyberFOX Password Manager is the ability to create strong, unique passwords for your accounts.  Creating different passwords for every account improves your overall security and lowers your potential risk in case one of your sites has a security breach. 

If one site has a security breach and your password is stolen from that site, the damage can be limited to just that site if you use different passwords for every site.

Creating a password for an account not in CyberFOX Password Manager


CyberFOX Password Manager is designed to show you the password generator when needed automatically. The app does this by looking at the web page you are on and looking for fields for new or updated passwords. You can also access the password generator from the owl icon near the address bar in the browser. Click the owl icon and then click the Password Generator button.
 

Creating a new account and Password in the CyberFOX Password Manager WebApp


  1. In your browser, go to the account creation page for the website where you want to save a password. 
     
  2. Click the owl in the username/email or password fields to create a new account in CyberFOX Password Manager. 


     
  3. Click Save new password
     
  4. The Save new password window will open up. 


     
  5. The domain name of the site you are on will be put in the Item Name field - you can change this name to anything you like.
     
  6. Enter the account username/email address. CyberFOX Password Manager will show you any saved email addresses to choose from, or you can type a different username.
     
  7. You can choose which folder to place the new password item or leave it blank.
     
  8. Click the Create Password button to have CyberFOX Password Manager create a strong 24-character password. 
     
  9. When you are done, click Save, and the new password will be added to your CyberFOX Password Manager account, automatically entering into the web page for you.
