Security Center

Use our new Security Center to keep up with your Login record’s security. Here you’ll be able to see how many weak, duplicate, and(or) old passwords you have. You’ll also be able to change the passwords for your online accounts directly from the security center insuring that all of your online accounts are kept safe and up to date.

Filter between Groups

mSecure comes with 3 built-in groups. By default, mSecure starts with Personal, Business, and Unassigned groups. When you create a record, it will be added as an unassigned group by default. However, you are free to change the group when creating or editing a record. You can also create new groups by going into the mSecure settings (mSecure -> Preferences or Command+Comma), clicking Groups, and selecting Add. There, you can give your group a name and select an icon.

Filter between Types

mSecure comes with 22 built-in record types or categories to meet most of your needs. However, mSecure also allows you to create new types of records and you also edit items in-line. You also do not have to use or keep all the records mSecure comes with. You are free to edit all the built-in records and delete the ones that you do not want. The only permanent non deletable record types are Logins, Credit Cards, and Secure Notes.

You can create or edit types by going into the mSecure settings (mSecure -> Preferences or Command+Comma), clicking Types, and either selecting an existing type to edit or create a new new type.

Deleted items

When you delete an record in mSecure, mSecure will move the record into the Deleted Items area. From there, you’ll be able to recover deleted records or permanently delete the record(s).

Lock mSecure

Click the Lock icon to lock mSecure. mSecure Auto-Locks after 10 minutes of inactivity. However, you can change the Auto-Lock setting by going into the mSecure settings, selecting Security and changing the Auto-Lock setting to your preference.
