Item Popups
A popup can be created from any of the items in your records and can be displayed automatically
on any web page whenever it appears in your browser. Although PasswordPod can transfer login details from
your record directly to the fields on a web page, some websites employ extra security measures, typically
asking you to choose selected characters from your password in some random sequence. This is where popups
can help, as the individual characters of your password are clearly indicated.
If the web page allows it, you can drag & drop each individual character
to the web page from the corresponding numbered cell, or you can drag & drop the
whole password from the area below the cells. If the web page doesn't support drag & drop,
you can right-click on any of the cells to copy & paste the details to the page. Alternatively,
uncheck the Hide Value checkbox, read off the characters being asked for and just enter them manually.
If you are running PasswordPod from a USB flash drive, the value in the popup will be
set as hidden by default whenever you unlock your data even if it was visible last time you used
the program. This is a security measure to prevent
passwords from popping up and being visible to others when you might be in a public place.
To create a popup, right-click on one of the record items listed in the main window and choose the
Show Popup option. There must be a web page in your browser, otherwise the option will be
disabled. Once created, the popup will appear each time you visit that web page until you
delete it by clicking on the trash can symbol or by right-clicking on the item and choosing Clear Existing Popups from the menu. You can create any number of popups for a record item for different web
pages as long as the web domains of those pages are associated with the record.
You can close a popup yourself by clicking on the button on the top right.
The popup will be closed anyway if you browse to a new page, close the browser or lock your data.
