How Password Managers Work

See how your devices work together to keep passwords safe

How Passwords Are Stored

No matter which device you use, all passwords go to the same secure cloud storage - one place for everything:

Save a password on your phone → It goes to the cloud
Save a password on your computer → Same cloud
Save a password in your browser → Same cloud
💡 Key Point: All passwords are encrypted and stored in ONE secure location. This is why they appear on all your devices automatically.
All devices connect to the same cloud

How Syncing Works

Because everything is in one cloud location, all your devices automatically get updates:

Save on your phone → Appears on computer and tablet in seconds
Change on your computer → All devices get the update
Delete on your tablet → Removed from all devices
💡 Key Point: Your devices regularly check the same cloud storage. Any change appears everywhere within seconds.

How Auto-Fill Works

The browser extension recognizes login pages and fills your credentials automatically:

Step 1: You visit a website (like your bank or email)
Step 2: Extension detects the login page and checks for saved credentials
Step 3: It automatically fills your username and password
Done! Click login - no typing required
💡 Key Point: The extension works in the background. You'll never have to remember or type passwords again!
