A popup can be created from any of the items in your records and can be displayed automatically on any web page whenever it is loaded into your browser. Although PasswordPod can transfer data 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 from your password 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" 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 uncheck the "Show on this Page" checkbox and close the popup or until you delete it in the Manage Popups dialog. You can create any number of popups for a record item for different web pages and those web pages don't have to be associated with a record.

Create Item Popup

The Manage Popups dialog simply lists all popups you've defined and allows you to delete any that you no longer want to appear.

Manage Password Popups

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.
