## User Names, Passwords, and Groups

There are five bits of information associated with each password entry:

- Group: Organizational name for grouping multiple entries.
- Title: A friendly name for a password entry
- User name: The user name
- Password: The password
- Notes: Free-form general notes field.

Note: If you type a URL in the Notes field (starting with http:// or https:// or ftp://) then "Browse to URL" in the popup (right-click) menu for that entry will be enabled. Selecting it will invoke the default browser on that URL.

Only the title and password fields are required; all others are optional.

### Creating a New User Name and Password Entry

1. Open the database where you wish to place the new entry
2. From the Edit menu, select Add Entry
3. Enter information into the Edit/View Entry dialog fields as necessary

Note: If a Group name is selected and then a new entry added, that entry will have that Group name prefilled in the Edit/View Entry dialog. If a name of a new group is added to the Group field, that Group will be created.

### Generating and Editing Passwords

If you wish, you can enter your own password into the password field manually, or you can have Password Safe generate a new one based on the current Password Policy.

1. In the Edit/View Entry dialog click Generate
2. Click Yes to accept the password or No to reject it

Note: To temporarily override the current password policy check Override Policy.

### Editing Existing Entries

1. Select the password entry to edit from the list
2. Select Edit/View Entry from the Edit menu

Note: By default, passwords are obscured. To see the password associated with the Entry click Show Password.

### Add a New Group

1. Select Add Group from the Edit menu
2. Enter the Group name

### Edit a Group Name

- Right-click on the group and select Rename Group from the drop down list

Note: Group names can be "nested," palcing a group name within/under another group name.
