A passwords bundle (or passwords vault) is a set of passwords combined by a functional area or a group of people, that have the access to these passwords. You can create a passwords vault for the sales team, product managers, technical workers, or any other user group. Anyone can create a bundle for oneself or several employees. While creating a vault, you can also manage a user's access rights and assign a person to update passwords. The creator of a bundle is always the administrator of it and has access to all the passwords.

To create a bundle:

1. Open the password manager app

2. Click 'Create'

3. Write the vault's title

4. Manage access levels, set up an extra password, and add notes

7. Click 'Save'

To edit an existing vault click on three dots in the right top corner of the vault. Here you can also choose the vault's color for convenient navigation.

Also, you can open passwords from all bundles. In this case, if some bundles are protected with extra passwords, the system will ask you to enter all of them. To see all the passwords and their tags just click 'All passwords' in the interface's header.

In a passwords bundle, you can create as many passwords as you need. There aren't any mandatory fields, so, if you don't need some fields or don't have an opportunity to fill them all, then you can fill only those fields that you want or really need. For example, if you use an email to sign in, and not a username or a phone number, then you can leave these fields empty.

The innovative single view interface is implemented in the password manager. This allows you to manage passwords and tags, copy credentials from the same interface without opening the passwords' form. When you open a passwords bundle and click on a password, you see that your interface is divided into three parts: the main part with passwords in the middle and two functional parts with sets of control elements on the sides of it.

The first functional part provides you with the opportunity to sort passwords according to various criteria, select all found passwords, add tags, and show all passwords by tags.

You can sort passwords by name, creator, partner, create date and by write date.

To sort passwords:

1. Open a passwords bundle

2. Choose the sorting criterion

3. Click on the 'Arrows' sign to see passwords in the reversed order.

If you click on the 'Select all passwords' button, you will see the details of all these passwords in the third functional part of the interface.

To organize passwords, you can create some tags. To add a tag just click '...add new tag' and write the title. To edit, archive or delete tags click on them with the right side of the mouse. Move tags by applying the drag&drop functionality. You can add tags hierarchy. In this case, if you'll put a tick by the parent tag, you will see the passwords from all tags that it includes.

You can manage all available tags from passwords bundles and create new tags by going to Configuration > Tags.

The main part shows passwords' cards, where you can see the passwords' titles, tags, the linked contacts, and the passwords' strength. Here you can add a password to favorites and remove it from favorites, to find the most important passwords quickly. Also, here you see if an update is required.

When you chose several passwords and then open another tag, your choice would not be reset.

The third functional part, the one on the right side, appears as you click on a password card. Here you see the usernames, passwords, and URL of all chosen password cards. You can easily copy them from here, by clicking on the 'Copy' icon. Click on the 'Eye' icon to see the password. Click on the 'Open in a new tab' icon to be redirected to the site, that is written on the password's card.

On the third functional part you can also:

It is possible to edit the list of mass actions for extra convenience. To edit mass actions go to Configuration > Settings, scroll to Mass actions. Here you can add actions and delete ones you don't need. Drag&drop to choose the sequence of mass actions.

The Password manager app has a built-in password generator. It is possible to generate passwords based on chosen length and requirements. In the settings, you can choose to generate passwords automatically as soon as you open the password-creating wizard. There you can also set the default password length and contents. Or, you can do it manually each time you open the password-creating wizard by clicking the 'Arrow' icon on the right side of the password field.

To generate passwords automatically:

1. Open password manager app

2. Click 'Configuration'

3. Click 'Settings'

4. Find 'Generate passwords on create' and put a tick in the box on its left side 

5. Choose default length and requirements for generated passwords

6. Click 'Save'

As a result, you get an automatically generated password, that is evaluated in real-time.

You can set any 'Default length for generated password'. You can always change it manually in the password wizard, depending on the site's password requirements. There are several available 'Default requirements for passwords':

All internal users can open the password manager app, but they see only the passwords to which they have access rights. Only people that are mentioned in the bundle settings have the right to see the bundle.

There are three types of access rights:

1. Admin rights (can change the app's settings, create, edit and delete passwords)

2. Full rights (can't change the settings of the app, but has access to all passwords)

3. Readonly (can only see passwords, to which the access is given, can't edit or delete them)

You can set users' rights while creating or editing a vault.

To set users' rights to a bundle:

1. Open the bundle wizard

2. Find the column 'Access level'

3. Choose the access level of the users or user groups

4. Click 'Save'.

It is possible, to give an access to a user or a group of users, for example, to the Sales team. In this case, all users that are in the Sales team will have the access to the passwords bundle. If a person belongs to at least one group of users that has the access to the passwords bundle, then he or she also has the access to it.

When you create a password, you can link it to a contact, that it belongs to. This will allow you to search all passwords of the user. Also, you can open all the contact's passwords from the contact's profile.

There are two ways how to link a contact: 

1. Fill the field 'Partners' when creating or editing a password

2. Choose a password card, click 'Update partner', choose a partner and click 'Save&Close'.

To find all passwords linked to a contact:

1. Go to Contacts

2. Choose a partner

3. Click the smart button 'Passwords'

4. You will be redirected to the Password manager app and will see all the passwords of this contact.

The tool introduces a few security layers to minimize the possibility of data leaks. All passwords are symmetrically encrypted. It means that to decrypt a password, plotters should know the exact decryption algorithm and a vault decryption key.

You can add an extra password to a passwords bundle. This way you will have to enter one password to have the access to all the passwords that are in the bundle. If a user has the access rights to this vault but doesn't know the password, he or she will not be able to enter the vault.

You can also set the time, for which the bundle is accessible without entering the password again. After this time the password manager will not let you edit, copy or see the passwords and will ask for the password again. The session period after successful login is set up in minutes. This is especially convenient if you work from someone else's computer.

You can set a different password for each bundle or leave some bundles accessible without entering a password. Vault extra password is also kept in the database encrypted and might be changed by a bundle administrator.

To add an extra password to a passwords bundle:

1. Click on the three dots icon, chose 'Edit'

2. Click 'Edit' 

3. Click on the tab 'Extra security'

4. Tick the box 'Extra password to open this bundle'

5. Enter the password

6. Confirm the password

7. Choose the max. session time (the time after which you need to confirm the password again, to work with passwords cards), the minimum is 3 minutes

For extra security, you can set the app to tell you when it is high time to change passwords. This way, every chosen period of time, the app will generate an activity, that there is a necessity to change a password. You can set this activity to all valid passwords, or only to the most important ones.

To set the activities:

1. Start creating or editing a passwords vault

2. Tick the box 'Responsible for passwords update' on the right side of a user or  a user group

3. Set the period of time, after which the passwords require an update

4. Click 'Save'

To exclude passwords from notifying about:

1. Start creating or editing a password

2. Tick the box 'No update required' in the right column of the wizard

3. Click 'Save'.

Password manager: custom fields is an optional add-on that allows you to add an extra field to the form of the password. The tool also introduces complementary passwords' typology. Show fields for passwords only of specific types, and do not show for others.

Custom password fields might be imported and exported. The rights to create custom fields belong only to Odoo administrators.
