Secrets allow you to store and vault your own personal passwords, notes, and other text-based information. When you create a secret, EmpowerID uses your master password to encrypt the information you are vaulting. Once the secret is created, you use your master password to decrypt and view the secret.
Secrets can be of three types:
Password — This type is for vaulting personal passwords. Vaulted information includes your user name and password, as well as the URL to the login page for Web-based applications.
Credit Card — This type is for vaulting your personal credit card information.
Note — This type is for vaulting text-based information.
It is important to note that secrets are personal information only. Passwords cannot be used by other people or systems, linked to a user account or an inventoried object such as a computer. You own and control all secrets you create.
