Introduction
MirageID has a built-in password manager that will allow you to autofill login information for the websites you visit. Given the nature of MirageID and our Identity Isolation, there are a few extra features over more standard password managers:
Passwords that you save in one Identity are only available in that Identity and are not available from other Identities. This prevents costly mistakes - if a password is presented as an auto-fill option, you can be sure that it's the password that you decided was correct for that Identity.
Passwords can be auto-filled and shared with your users for them to auto-fill without sharing the password to them - keep your passwords safe!
Optionally save separate passwords for each user of your Identity, or share passwords with all users of an Identity.
Enabling Password Management
Step 1) Sign up for a 1Password account.
MirageID uses 1Password as a password manager backend. In order to use the MirageID Password manager, you will need to sign up for a 1Password account (any account type will work). You can sign up here.
Step 2) Log into your 1Password account in the MirageID Browser
As an Admin user, from any Identity, log into the MirageID Browser and click on the "key" icon in the top bar and follow the instructions from there:
This only needs to be done on a single Identity, and will activate the password manager for all Identities with isolated password storage for each Identity.
Configuring the Password Manager
MirageID supports two modes for password management, and you can choose which you want to use on a per-Identity basis.
Both modes below store passwords in isolated storage for each Identity, so there is no risk of cross-Identity Password exposure regardless of which method you choose.
Mode 1 (Default) - Per User Credentials
In this mode, each User of an Identity has passwords stored separately, and each user can only auto-fill the passwords assigned to them. Passwords are still stored separately for each Identity, so this mode might be more properly called "Per-Identity Per-User Credentials".
You may want to use this mode if you give each of your Users separate login credentials to whatever website you access using the MirageID browser. You would then be able to assign those credentials to that particular user in the MirageID browser.
This is the default mode for each Identity when Password Management is enabled.
Mode 2 - Shared Credentials
In this mode, there is a single pool of passwords for this Identity that is used by all Users of that Identity to autofill website password fields. Passwords are still stored separately for each Identity so this mode might be more properly called "Per-Identity User-Shared Credentials"
You may want to use this mode if all of your Users share credentials on the websites you use access using the MirageID browser.
(This is the legacy mode that has been supported by the Password Manager since it's introduction.)
Choosing a Mode
By default, when Password Management is enabled, all Identities will use Per User Credentials
Log into the MirageID Account Manager here
Click on the "Identities" tab in the sidebar:
Click on the "gear" icon (
) at the top right of the Identity you want to editChoose the mode you want under the "Password Manager" section and click "Save"
There is one final step, that needs to be done from within the MirageID Browser (not from the Account Manager Website). As an Admin user, log into the Mirage Identity Browser, and open the Identity you have changed. Once you open the Identity, your Identity will be converted to your new Password Manager Mode. (This step can be completed at any point later, however, your mode change will not take effect until this is done).
Follow these steps for each Identity you want to configure.
Saving Passwords to the Password Manager
This option is only available for the Admin user, or users who have "Manage Password" permissions.
Follow these steps to save a password to the Password Manager:
Open the Password manager by clicking on the
icon near the address barClick on the
icon to open the "Add Password" dialog (you may not see the "Select user" dropdown depending on which Password Manager Mode you have chosen for this Identity):
Fill the fields and click "Save"
Autofill Passwords
To autofill passwords, click on the key icon in the login field of the website you are accessing:
And select the username you want to autofill:
