Password Manager and SecurePass

Password Manager and SecurePass

Is there any way to copy the password suggested by BitDefender password manager?

When providing a password to logon to a new site, Password Manager has a useful feature to generate a strong password for you - BUT I DON'T use it! Because I can't find a way to copy the password to clipboard, and password manager doesn't always recognise the logon and offer to save it, which then leaves me with a new logon which I don't have a record of the passord for - my only option is to immediately reset the password.

At least if I could copy the password to clipboard, I could set it up in Password Manager automatically if PM fails to recognise the logon. Better still, it should automatically copy to clipboard.

This is one of a number of issues I have with PM.

    Hi Ettery,

    Welcome on the forum !

    You could suggest your proposal on the thread below:

    A little bird tells me the real issue is "if PM fails to recognize the logon", well...

    I do not use Password Manager, so I let experts answer you.

    Hi Ettery,

    Is the visible generated password the good and last one ?

    I cannot believe my eyes!

    I would take a picture to paste it on a brand new sheet... wouldn't I ? [and sell it at Sothebys (if the art dealer is keen on contemporary art)]

    So I keep the password.

    Cheers,

    L.

  • @Liobet - the only value of that password is in your art collection - I hope you enjoy it! I don't save real passwords anywhere (except in password manager).

    Guys, guys, no need for sarcasm and/or bad language. Stay cool. 🙂

    Sorry to all, I do not use password manager.

    My apologizes to Ettery, I was serious when I talked of making a picture (after all, it is what I did to put my box's serial number in my directory) of the visible password. OK it needs then to implement manually a great number of figures.

    Have a nice day!

  • @Gjoksi No offense taken here - I think it's valid to highlight the posting of a password which might accidentally be the one in use - it happens often on forums and public code repos.

    @Liobet I could screenshot the image each time I guess, but it would be far smother just to have the password placed in the copy buffer in case of need...

  • i have had this same issue you have described i.e. "password manager doesn't always recognize the logon and offer to save it, which then leaves me with a new logon which I don't have a record of the passwords for - my only option is to immediately reset the password"

    The solution that has worked for me is to use the Generate Password option, after you generate a password you can click on it and will copy the password to the clipboard, upon which you can manually edit associated account.

    This issue also occurs when changing a password, I believe to be a bug in their software.

  • I'm very dissatisfied with the password generator from Bitdefender. The password generator is very poor if I can't copy the password. How do I add it to the "confirm password" block when I'm opening a new account. Also, I want to be able to put it in my password file and be able to use it when the Bitdefender program doesn't come up - and that will happen.
