Security Settings

Clipboard Timeout

Set the amount of time after which copied passwords are automatically cleared from your clipboard.

OpenAI API Settings

Configure your OpenAI API key to use the AI-assisted password generation feature. The API key is stored securely and only used for password generation requests.

Database Synchronization Settings

Synchronization Configuration

Set up synchronization to keep your data consistent across multiple devices.

Supported Providers:
  • Supabase: Open-source Firebase alternative with PostgreSQL database
  • Firebase: Google's platform for mobile and web applications
  • Custom API: Connect to your own custom API server
Configuration Options:
  • Database URL: The endpoint URL for your chosen database provider.
  • API key: Use a custom header for API key authentication.
  • Synchronization Toggle: Enable or disable synchronization as needed.
  • Test Connection: Verify your database connection is working properly.

Security Note:

All synchronized data is encrypted before being sent to your database. Your encryption keys remain on your device and are never transmitted.

Advanced Settings

Customize your password generation with advanced options. Choose the length, character types, and more.

Import/Export Settings

Export your settings to a JSON file for backup or to import them on another device.

Reset settings

Reset all settings to their default values. This action cannot be undone.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your settings, try these solutions:

  1. Refresh the Page: Sometimes a simple page refresh can resolve temporary issues.
  2. Clear Browser Cache: Clearing your browser cache can help resolve persistent issues with settings not saving or loading correctly.
  3. Check Database Connection: If using synchronization, ensure your database connection is valid and test it using the Test Connection button.
  4. Check Browser Storage: Ensure your browser allows local storage and doesn't have privacy settings that clear it automatically.
