eWallet's Windows PC and Mac AutoPass feature will fill in a username and password on a web page that you've accessed by clicking the URL on the card.
AutoPass is available for:
AutoPass supports the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer 6 through 9 (Windows only)
- Mozilla Firefox 4 and up
- Google Chrome
- Apple Safari
How It Works
For example, if you make a Password card which has the following fields:
| URL: my.yahoo.com |
| User Name: jamestk |
| Password: 123456 |
When you tap the URL in the card face, the page will appear in your browser with the name (jamestk) and password (123456) filled in.
AutoPass is more secure, as well as easier than entering information by hand. See why.
You can turn off AutoPass for the whole wallet, if you don't want to use it. Use the Options -> Enable AutoPass option to turn AutoPass on and off. (If you want eWallet to launch your system's default browser instead of Internet Explorer or Firefox, disable AutoPass.)
Note that AutoPass only handles a fixed number of redirects. If you type http://www.etrade.com into your browser, for example, it is redirected several times before it reaches https://us.etrade.com/e/t/home. In order to protect itself (and you) from sites that redirect over and over again, AutoPass limits the number it accepts. If you encounter a site that isn't working, try pasting the final URL into the card.
