What it does #
With Windows Hello on, your face, fingerprint or PIN unlocks Passyble instead of the master password, also when the browser extension, auto-type or Windows passkeys need Passyble unlocked. It works on this PC only.
Keep in mind: someone who knows your Windows PIN can unlock it too.
Before you start #
Windows Hello has to be set up in Windows first: Windows Settings → Accounts → Sign-in options. If it isn't, Passyble shows Not set up in Windows.
Turn it on #
- Click Turn on next to Unlock with Windows Hello in the Get started checklist, or open Settings → Unlock → Windows Hello.
- Passyble shows On after your next master-password unlock. Lock and unlock once with your master password.
- From then on it shows On · key bound to this PC, and the unlock screen offers Unlock with Windows Hello.
Why it still asks for the master password #
Every now and then Passyble asks for the master password anyway, so you don't forget it. That's every 30 days by default. Change it under Settings → Unlock → Ask for master password: Never, Every day, every few days, or After each start of Passyble.
It's also needed after Windows Hello is reset.
Confirm each fill #
For extra care, turn on Confirm each fill. Then, even while Passyble is unlocked, it asks for Windows Hello before the extension fills a login, 2FA code or passkey, and before auto-type.
How the key is protected #
The key that opens your vault on this PC is protected by Windows Hello and your PC's built-in security chip, and only works after you confirm with your face, fingerprint or PIN. Your face or fingerprint never reaches Passyble; Windows handles it.
