In this tab the most inportant elements are combined.
The following bits of information are associated with each
password entry:
Group: A name for grouping (organizing) several related entries
Title: A friendly name for a password entry
User name: The user name
Password: The password
Notes: Free-form general notes field
Only the title and password fields are required; all others are optional.
In addition, the following fields may be set in this tab:
URL:
The URL associated with the entry. If this field is not empty, then the "Go" button
is enabled. If the protocol is not specified, then "http://" is assumed
(e.g., "www.foo.net" is the same as "http://www.foo.net"). The Go button to the right of the URL field is enabled if the URL field is not empty. Clicking with the Control key
pressed (Ctrl+Click) will, in addition, invoke the autotype
function on the opened browser page. See the following notes for more information
email: The email address associated with this entry. If
this field is not empty, then the "Send" button
is enabled. Clicking on this button will invoke the default mail
program with the To: field set to the specified address. See the following notes for more options.
The following notes describe the way URLs are handled in more detail:
By default, Password Safe will use the browser that your
PC usually opens web pages with. If desired, you can specify an
alternate browser by
putting '[alt]' before the URL, e.g., "[alt]http://www.foo.net". This
is useful, for example, if your default browser is Firefox, and you
wish to access a website that works best with Internet Explorer. To
configure an alternate browser, use the Manage->Options->Misc. dialog box.
If '{alt}' is put before the URL, then it is passed
'as-is' to the alternate browser, that is, without adding 'http://' if
no protocol is specified. This is useful if the alternate browser is a
remote access application, e.g., an SSH client. [ssh] will achieve the
same effect.
If '[autotype]' is found before the URL, then after the
URL has been displayed/actioned, Password Safe then perform the Autotype
action using this entry's Autotype field, or the default value if not
specified.
The email address is according to the standard rules (per RFC 2368):
The
address can be one or more valid email addresses separated by a
semicolon, using 'Internet-safe characters. Use %20 for the space
character.
The address can be followed by one or
more name-value pairs. The first pair should be prefixed by a "?" and
any additional pairs should be prefixed by an ampersand (&). The
name can be one of the following strings:
subject - followed by text to appear in the subject line of the message.
body - followed by text to appear in the body of the message.
CC - followed by addresses to be included in the "cc" (carbon copy) section of the message.
BCC - followed by addresses to be included in the "bcc" (blind carbon copy) section of the message.
If you're using a "single sign-on" system that allows you to
share the same password across different machines/servers/applications,
etc. you can setup Password Safe
entries accordingly, so that changing one password affects all other
related entries. This is called "aliasing" entries, and is explained in
detail here.
