How to use Optanik Keyring: vaults, records, import and browser extensions

Keyring My Vault and Workspace Vault

My Vault is your private vault; only you can see it. Records are sorted into folders. Search finds any record as you type, filters narrow the list by record type, date modified, shared, two-factor or favorites, and you can sort by name, date or type in a list or a grid. Create New adds a login, a card, a note and more.

Workspace Vault is shared with your team, and everything in it is encrypted. When you use Optanik, the Endpoints folder holds the local admin login for every computer, with folders for the Windows, macOS and Linux machines. Add folders for network gear, cloud services and admin consoles.

Open and edit a Keyring record

Click a record to open it. The password stays hidden until you press the eye, and a bar shows how strong it is. Buttons share the record, edit it, add a field, delete it or close the panel. Add a field puts more on a record: an email, a two-factor code, a text field or a longer note, and dozens more for cards, bank accounts, addresses, BitLocker keys, license keys, servers, databases and Wi-Fi networks.

Run the Keyring security audit

Security Audit scores every password in the vault. It counts weak and fair passwords, reused ones, and ones not changed in a year, and shows which records don't have a two-factor code yet. Needs attention lists every record to fix, worst first. Fix weak and reused passwords first; they raise the score the most. Deleted Items holds deleted records so a mistake is easy to undo.

Import passwords into Keyring

Settings → Import & Export brings passwords in from LastPass, 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, Keeper or your browser. Keyring detects the format and maps the columns for you. Preview the rows first; nothing is saved until you confirm, and missing folders are created for you. Export downloads the vault you can see as a spreadsheet.

Install the Keyring browser extension

Settings → Browser Extensions puts Keyring in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Install it and sign in with your Optanik email and password; it fills in logins, offers to save new ones and searches the vault from the toolbar. Firefox installs from Mozilla Add-ons; for the others, download the file and follow the pictures once on each computer.

Keyring users and Keymaster seats

Settings → Billing & Users is where you invite people and manage Keymaster licenses. Read-only access is free for everyone; Keymasters who create and edit entries are $1.50 a month.
