While you save a login
In a new or edited login:
- Generate strong password, under the password, opens the generator. Choose Use password to put the result in the login.
- The arrows button inside the password box fills in a new password straight away, using your saved options.
Save the login to keep the password.
On sign-up pages (browser extension)
When you click an empty password box on a sign-up or change-password page, Bramble offers a password under Use suggested password. It follows your password or passphrase options. Choose it to fill the password, and the confirm box if there is one. Bramble then offers to save the login.
Use the arrows button on that row to get a different one. This works even while your vault is locked: Bramble asks you to unlock when you save.
History
The generator doesn’t keep a list of the passwords it made. Save a password to a login before you close the generator.
When you change a login’s password, Bramble keeps up to 5 previous ones. Open the login and choose the Password changed line under the password to see them.
