How do I access contents of Password Manager?

harleygj1 · April 2023

When I go to BD Central and select PM, I get a display with questions about installing PM, acknowledgement that I have PM installed on Chrome and options to install on other devices. How do I get to the contents of PM to see websites and passwords, users, etc. like I could with Wallet?

PM is a disaster.

Thanks for the responses. It's incredible to me that BD forced this "improvement" on us without the basic capabilities of the app it replaced.

Hi @harleygj1

As of now, there is no option for a larger window to edit, view etc as in Wallet, except for the PM browser app dropdown options.

Some have requested a desktop app, but that has been passed on. With the feature/improvements expected in 2-3 months (end of 2nd quarter, maybe a bit longer) I'm hoping for at least some sort of functionality in Central as per this request. I personally wouldn't use LastPass, but it's shown as an example. Click on View Post.

It has never been acknowledged as absolutely accepted, so I'm not sure what will be included in the unveiling of the PM improvements :)

Kind regards,

Scott

Hello.

Bitdefender Password Manager is not a standalone software, like for example Kaspersky Password Manager.

It's only an extension that can be installed on Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari on both Windows and macOS, Android and iOS.

Also, Bitdefender Password Manager doesn't have the possibility to open the vault in your Bitdefender Central account, like Kaspersky Password Manager has the possibility to open your vault in My Kaspersky account:

That is the reason why you can't see the contents of the vault in your Bitdefender Central account.

I agree. I'm hoping for better things when the update rolls out. But for now, I'm using Bitwarden free, which also includes a desktop app, and the Window Hello option to open the desktop vault.

Mate, i'm also waiting for the dekstop app. Until then, i'll stay with the green K.

Yep, that was my other choice, as you know I have that option, too. But at times I'm a bit of a software junkie and like to see what else is out there (curiosity), especially since Bitwarden has been brought up on the forum many times before. I installed Bitwarden a couple of days ago, so the jury is still out on that one, otherwise, the green K is my other option :)

If Bitdefender PM has some of the options we're looking for in its update, I wouldn't mind using it, as I find it to be one of the quicker password managers in logging into a site.
