Android Built-in Browser

This article explains how to use mSecure's built-in browser to auto-fill and auto-submit your login information. 

Browser Settings

By default, mSecure uses its built-in browser when opening URL links from your records. However, you can choose to use your default browser instead. To do this, adjust the Browser settings to either:

• Automatically open links in your default browser.
• Prompt you to choose between mSecure's built-in browser are your default browser. 

For more details on Browser Login Assist options, refer to this article. Alternatively, you can enable Android Auto Login, which automatically activates Login Assist when you visit a login page in Chrome or an app. 

How to Access Browser Settings: 

1. Open and unlock mSecure.
2. Tap the Menu icon.
3. Tap Settings.
4. Select Browser Settings. 

Within these settings, you can:

• Clear cookies and data to reset the built-in browser. 
• Enable or disable Auto-Submit for login information.
• Set a default home page. 
  

Login Record Type

The built-in browser relies on the Login record type to auto-fill and auto-submit login details. However, you can use any record that contains a URL field to launch the built-in browser. 

Auto-Fill and Auto-Submit

When using a Login record, the built-in browser automatically pulls up matching credentials based on the URl and fills in the login form. If enabled, Auto-Submit will also attempt to submit your login details. 

Additional Browser Options

In the built-in browser, tap the More Options icon (top right corner) to access: 

• Data Insert - Quickly find and fill login details.
• Password Generator - Create strong and random passwords.

Using Data Insert 

1. Tap a login input field on a website. 
2. Tap the Data Insert icon.
3. Select All Records, Login Records, All Favorites, or Favorite Logins. 
4. Choose the record you want to use. 
5. Select the field to insert data into the input field. 

Password Generator

Easily generate strong, random passwords for your accounts. When combined with auto-fill and auto-submit, updating your passwords becomes quick and seamless. 

How to Use the Password Generator

1. Open and unlock mSecure. 
2. Tap a Login record to view its details. 
3. Tap the URL field to open the website. 
4. Log in (auto-fill and auto-submit should speed this up). 
5. Navigate to the password change page. 
6. mSecure will try to auto-fill your current password. 
7. Click the Password Generator icon next to the "New Password" field. 
8. Tap the More Options icon (top right) and select Generate Password. 
9. Customize your password and tap Use. 
10. Paste the new password into both "New Password" and "Confirm New Password" fields. 

If mSecure detects a password change, it will prompt you to update your stored credentials. If not, manually update the password in your Login records by pasting the generated password and saving the record.

Locking mSecure

Quickly lock mSecure by tapping the Lock icon (More Options > Lock). 

Navigating Back and Forward

Use the < (Back) and > (Forward) icons to navigate between pages in the built-in browser.
