Edge Browser Extension

Password Manager Pro allows you to securely synchronize passwords across browsers through native browser extensions to make password management and auto-logon activities seamless.

The extension helps you to auto-fill passwords to websites and web applications, and also set up an Auto Logon gateway to launch RDP and SSH sessions. It allows you to view all the passwords, resource groups, favorites, and recently used resources and also enables you to search for resources.

The browser extensions, once deployed, allows you to directly perform most of the password management activities, with Password Manager Pro running in the background.

Note: While passwords are undisclosed within the Password Manager Pro interface for security reasons, please note that users with access to the developer console or similar debugging tools may still be able to view them. Exercise caution with sensitive information and ensure appropriate access controls are implemented to manage potential risks associated with password visibility.

You can easily view the password of any account associated with that particular resource group from the "Resource Groups" tab.
