Calling ImagiPass up

When ImagiPass is installed on your PC or a memory flash drive, it is automatically added to the Windows Current User's Startup folder. This means that you won't need to launch ImagiPass manually by clicking a Desktop shortcut. ImagiPass will automatically be launched during system startup and will wait in the background. You can check that ImagiPass is running by looking at the notification area (the system tray) of the Windows Taskbar. The ImagiPass "asterisk" icon is visible in the notification area:

Before calling ImagiPass up to specify a picture combination, and as a result a password, you must first click in the target password box. Let's suppose that you want to enter the password to a Gmail account. First click in the relevant edit box:

Entering Passwords With ImagiPass

When a software, email box, or Web site requires a crucially important password, you will naturally use ImagiPass to create, enter, or reenter the password.

Here is how to proceed to generate a new password:

1. Open the target dialog in the relevant software or go to the appropriate Web page.
2. Click in the box where the new password has to be typed:
   
   
   
   
3. Press the ImagiPass hot key (by default, Ctrl+Alt+P), or click the "asterisk" icon displayed next to the password box. This will bring ImagiPass up:
   
   
   
   
4. Follow the instructions displayed on the ImagiPass window.

Note that it is of paramount importance that you are consistent in your choice of password length:



You will need to select the same password length to be able to reenter the same unique password in the future.
In other words, for each target password, you need to remember a unique combination of password length and pictures.

Whenever possible, use maximally long passwords. They are the safest.

Select shorter password lengths only when the target software or Web site does not support longer passwords.

When you have chosen a new password for a given software or Web site, you can use ImagiPass to reenter that password again and again. Simply do the following:

1. Click in the box where the password has to be typed.
2. Press the ImagiPass hot key (by default, Ctrl+Alt+P), or click the "asterisk" icon displayed next to the password box. This will bring ImagiPass up.
3. Reselect the same combination of pictures and password length that you used when you originally created the password for the same software or Web site in ImagiPass.
