Depending on the tab selected and the amount of access you have, you may or may not see Action links. When clicked, Action links initiate a workflow in EmpowerID. In the below image, the logged-in user sees the Create Master Password Action link on the Secrets tab. A master password is is used by EmpowerID to create a PKI (Public and Private) key that is linked to your person. This key is used to encrypt and decrypt data on your behalf. When you create a secret or use PAM for the first time, you will need to create a master password. Then each time you check out a credential, create or view a secret or password, you use your master password to unlock the credential or secret. Image Removed
