Using AutoFill
Passify implements support for the password AutoFill features available on iOS and Android, and provides browser extensions and a helper application for Windows and macOS. These features allow you to quickly and safely populate login forms on your device directly from Passify without using the clipboard or manually typing in your passwords.
To enable Passify's support for AutoFill, you must first set it up for your platform:
Configuring AutoFill on Android
-
Launch the Android Settings application, swipe down and tap the item labeled "Passwords & Accounts."
Under "Autofill Service", tap the name shown. It may display "None" if you currently have no autofill providers selected.
Tap "Passify" to select Passify as your autofill provider
- Tap the "OK" button when prompted "Make sure you trust this app"
Configuring AutoFill on iOS
-
Launch the iOS Settings application, swipe down and tap the item labeled "Passwords." On some iOS versions, this may be labeled as "Passwords & Accounts." iOS may prompt you to unlock your device.
- Tap "Password Options" or "AutoFill Passwords" (varies depending on iOS version)
- Tap the switch labeled "AutoFill Passwords" to enable the feature if it is not already
- Tap "Passify" to toggle a checkmark, which means that the feature has been enabled
Configuring AutoFill on macOS
On macOS, Passify fills passwords in your web browser. Setup depends on which browser you use.
Safari
- Open Safari, click the "Safari" menu, and choose "Settings."
- Click "Extensions."
- Check the box next to Passify to enable the extension.
Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox and other browsers
- Install the Passify extension for your browser. See Browser AutoFill Extensions for the links.
- Launch Passify, open the main menu, tap "Settings," and then "Autofill."
- Click the "Connect Browser" button. A folder picker will appear with the "Application Support" folder pre-selected. Click the "Open" button to give Passify permission to write to this folder so that it can connect your browsers to the extension.
- If any of your browsers are open, restart them.
Using AutoFill in Your Browser
- Navigate to the page you wish to log in to.
- Click the Passify icon in the browser's toolbar. Passify will open.
- Enter your Personal Secret as normal.
- Tap the Generator you need the password for, then tap the generated password. Passify will populate the fields on the page for you. As on mobile, Passify filters your Generators based on the website you launched AutoFill from.
The Passify Helper
Passify also provides an optional helper application that sits in your menu bar. Its global hotkey, Control+Option+Shift+P by default, quickly launches Passify from anywhere. To start it, open Passify's Autofill settings and click the "Launch Helper" button. From the helper's menu in the menu bar you can launch Passify, optionally enable the helper to start at login, or change its hotkey.
Configuring AutoFill on Windows
On Windows, Passify fills passwords in your web browser, and in other desktop applications using the Passify Helper.
In Your Browser
- Download and run the Passify Browser Setup Tool. Windows does not let Passify connect itself to your browsers, so this one-time step does it for you.
- Install the Passify extension for your browser. See Browser AutoFill Extensions for the links.
To autofill, navigate to the page you wish to log in to and click the Passify icon in the browser's toolbar. Passify will open. Enter your Personal Secret, tap the Generator you need the password for, then tap the generated password and Passify will populate the fields on the page for you. As on mobile, Passify filters your Generators based on the website you launched AutoFill from. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to the extension in your browser's settings.
In Other Applications
Passify provides an optional helper application that sits in your notification area and provides a global hotkey, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P by default. This allows you to fill your usernames, passwords and TOTP codes into desktop applications.
- Launch Passify, open the main menu, tap "Settings," and then "Autofill."
- Click the "Launch Helper" button to start the notification area application.
- From the helper's menu you can launch Passify, optionally enable it to start with Windows, or change its hotkey.
- To fill an application, bring it to the front and press the hotkey. Enter your Personal Secret, then tap the Generator you need and Passify will type its username and password into the application.
Using AutoFill on Android and iOS to Populate Password Fields
When you're ready to log in and need a password:
- Tap the password field you wish to AutoFill.
If you've correctly enabled AutoFill ...
iOS will display the keyboard, and a "Passwords" button will appear directly above the keyboard.
On Android, a small popup will appear with "Passify" displayed.
-
On iOS, tap the "Passwords" button above the keyboard. If you have multiple password managers, you will need to choose "Passify" when prompted.
On Android, tap the "Passify" popup.
- Passify will launch. Enter your Personal Secret as normal.
- Tap the Generator you need the password for.
Easily Find Your Generator For convenience, Passify automatically filters your Generators based on the name or URL of the website or application you launched AutoFill from. If none are displayed, you can either create a new Generator or tap the "X" to clear the filter and see all of your Generators.
Impersonation Warning If you already have a Generator for the requesting site/app and Passify can't find a match, make sure that the domain/app you're autofilling is the correct, legitimate one. It may be an attacker impersonating the real thing in an attempt to steal your login credentials.
- Tap the generated password and Passify will populate the field for you.
AutoFilling UsernamesIf you have a username assigned to the generator, Passify will also try to AutoFill the username field for you.
