Connect the extension to your installation

To be able to use the extension to autofill forms and save passwords you first need to connect it to your installation of Team Password Manager. Since version 3.15.10 of the extension and 9.125.225 of Team Password Manager, you only need to log in to your installation of Team Password Manager. The extension will automatically connect and you'll see the extension icon turn blue. If you're already logged in, just refresh the page you're in. Note that if you log out of Team Password Manager the extension will automatically disconnect.

If you can't automatically connect because you have a version of Team Password Manager lower than 9.125.225 you can still use the old method of connecting. It's described here:

1. Click on the extension icon, on the right hand side of the browser screen. The extension icon is gray because the extension is not yet connected:

2. Click on the link that says "manually connect the extension using the API", you'll be taken to the old sign in screen of the extension.

3. Fill in the URL where your installation of Team Password Manager is located (the part before index.php), your username and password and if you want your password to be remembered for the next login ("Save password"). Optionally, choose to "Use archived passwords" if you want to fetch archived passwords to autofill forms and check "Offer to save web passwords" if you need this feature. Click "Connect" to connect the extension.

If everything is ok, the extension will be connected to your Team Password Manager and you'll be able to use it:

You can disconnect whenever you want by clicking on the extension icon (which now it's blue because the extension is connected) and then clicking on the "Disconnect" button inside the "Options" tab. Note that if you quit the browser it will automatically disconnect.

You can also change the two options - "Use archived passwords" and "Offer to save web passwords" just clicking on the corresponding checkbox in the "Options" tab.

Autofill login forms

To autofill a login form, follow these steps:

1. Go to the page where the form is located. If the extension can find a username/e-mail and a password field, it will place a lock icon inside these fields: a blue lock icon for the username and a blue lock icon with a star for the password. For instance:

Note: unfortunately sometimes the extension is not able to find the username and/or password fields. In these cases the autofill feature cannot be used. We're constantly improving the extension so that in the majority of cases the login fields are found.

2. Click on one of the two fields. A selection window will open and the extension will search for those password entries in your installation of Team Password Manager that match the domain of the page the form is on. In the example, the domain would be "mytestwebsite.co.uk":

Note that the extension will look for shared passwords and also personal passwords ("My Passwords"), presenting them in different tabs.

If the extension finds a subdomain, in the example "mail.mytestwebsite.co.uk", it will let you choose it, thus refining the password search for that subdomain:

You can use the search box to search for passwords in that domain/subdomain, and you can use the advanced search operators in the search string too. Note, though, that the access: operator is already used by the extension internally to get the passwords for the domain/subdomain of the current website.

3. Choose a password from the list by clicking its name. The extension will fetch it from Team Password Manager and fill in the username and passwords fields with the corresponding values from the password entry:

Save web passwords

Note: to use this feature you must have it enabled in options ("Offer to save web passwords").

To save a web password in Team Password Manager follow these steps:

1. Go to the page where the form is located. As before, if the extension can find a username/e-mail and a password field, it will place a lock icon inside these fields: a blue lock icon for the username and a blue lock icon with a star for the password.

2. Enter the login/email and password information and click the "Submit" (or "Log in", or "Sign in") button:

3. A popup screen will appear. In this popup screen you need to enter the descriptive name of the password entry, where you want to save it ("Shared Passwords" or "My Passwords") and select the project you want to save the password in if you selected shared, like so:

4. Click "Save password" and, if there's no error, the password will be saved in Team Password Manager:

Search inside the extension

The extension has a search box to search for passwords within it. To do it, click on the extension icon, click on the "Search" tab, enter the string to search for, select if you want to search it in the shared passwords section or in your personal passwords and click the "Search" button:

You can use the advanced search operators in the search string as if you were searching from within the web app.

After clicking search, you'll be presented with the password entries that match the search string. Clicking on the name of the password, the extension will open the corresponding URL and fill in the username and password. If you see that the name is not "clickable" it means that there's no URL (Access field) in the password entry.

You can also click the "+" icon and the extension will fetch all the data of the password:
