Automatic password verification

Automatic password verification

A password changer linked to a secret template can be activated to periodically verify the password, and check if the target server is still available for a secret that uses this secret template.

To automatically verify the password:
  1. Go to Secrets > Secret List.

    Alternatively, go to Folders, and select the folder where the secret is located.

  2. Double-click the secret to edit it.
  3. In the Secret Setting pane:
    1. Enable Automatic Password Verification.
    2. In Interval (min), enter the time interval at which the password is verified.
    3. In Start Time, enter a date and time.

      Alternatively, select the calendar icon, and select a date and time.

  4. Click Save.

    If Automatic Password Verification is enabled then the Password Verification Status shows the amount of time after which the password is automatically verified.
