To establish a PKI (Public and Private) key associated with your identity, EmpowerID employs a master password. This key enables EmpowerID requires users to create a master password when interacting with Privileged Access Management (PAM) or when creating a secret. This master password establishes a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) tied to their identity, enabling secure encryption and decryption of data on your their behalf. When you utilize PAM for the first time or create a secret, you must generate a master password. Thereafter, each time you need to view or create a password or secret, or check out a credential, you will utilize your master password to unlock them.
