Password Manager

Password Manager is a Vast Labs feature for local credential storage and same-site autofill.

The vault starts locked and must be explicitly unlocked for the current Vast session.

It can lock again after inactivity, system lock, suspend, or session expiration.

A login can contain:

  • website origin;
  • title;
  • username;
  • encrypted password;
  • notes;
  • favicon;
  • autofill policy.

Vast can detect completed sign-ins and ask before saving or updating a credential. You can suppress prompts for a site and later re-enable them.

Matching credentials are offered for the same site. Autofill is user-controlled and can be configured to require confirmation.

The built-in generator creates randomized passwords using letters, digits, and symbols.

The local health check can flag obvious weak, reused, and duplicate credentials.

Copying a password places it in the clipboard temporarily. Treat clipboard contents as sensitive while another application can read them.

CSV import is manual. CSV export is plaintext by nature; protect exported files carefully and delete them when no longer needed.

Credential secrets are protected using operating-system-backed encryption where available. Portability across another machine or OS account is therefore not guaranteed.
