Instructions

Note: you can use the interactive model of the main page above, to get a preliminary idea of what interacting with the real main page of the DC Password Manager is like.

1) To edit a password record, first, navigate to the record you would like to edit.

2) Next, click on the Edit Record button, a little below the top, right of the main page of the application. This puts the main page of the app into edit mode.

(Note: instead of clicking on the Edit Record button above, you may alternately click on the Edit Record menu command, on the main menu of the DC Password Manager, to obtain the same result. See here for more information.)

3) Ensure if you change the value in the Name field for the password record, you leave an actual value in the field, and it is a value that is not the duplicate of a value found in another a record. (Note: if you do not enter a value, or you enter a value that is same as one found in another record [the DC Password Manager doesn't care about differences in the capitization of letters], you will encounter an error.)

4) Revise values in the rest of the fields for the password record, as appropriate.

(See here for how you may enter / revise data in the Password field - including via the random password generator. See here for how you must enter / revise data in the Categories field, which associates your record with one or more categories.)

When you are finished revising data in the fields of your record, click the Save Record button to save the changes you made to your record. Note: you may alternately click on the Clear Changes button, to completely roll back and abandon the changes you made, to your password record.

(Note: instead of clicking on the Save Record or Clear Change button above, you may alternately click on the Save Record or Clear Changes menu command, on the main menu of the DC Password Manager, to obtain the same result. See here for more information.)
