Passwords
Saving, filling and managing passwords.
- Saving: sign in to a site and a green Save password? key appears in the address bar once the page moves on. Choose Save, Never for this site, or Not now. A changed password offers Update password?.
- Filling: click a username or password box (or press ↓ in it) to pick a saved login from Fruit Bat's own menu. The page can't see your logins until you pick one. The key in the address bar opens the same menu.
- Sign-up and change-password boxes offer Use a strong password.
- menu › Passwords (
fruitbat://passwords): search, show, copy, edit, delete, add, import a CSV (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Bitwarden) and export one. - Encryption:
- Each password is encrypted with the system keychain through Electron's
safeStorage. Usernames and sites are stored in plain text so the list works. - On Linux without GNOME Keyring or KWallet, saving is off rather than falling back to plain text.
- Each password is encrypted with the system keychain through Electron's
- Logins are matched by site: scheme + host + port, ignoring
www.. Sohttps://example.comlogins don't fill onhttp://example.comor onaccounts.example.com. - Where it works: private windows can fill but never save. Vampire Bat windows do neither.
- Not yet:
- Sign-in forms inside iframes (some bank and embedded logins).
- Sign-in pop-up windows.
- Sync between computers.
- Breach checks.
- Touch ID / Windows Hello before filling (Touch ID is only asked for when showing or exporting on the Passwords page).
