Getting Started

This guide helps you set up Passwall quickly and safely—without the usual “security tax”. Follow the steps in order for the best experience.

1

Create your vault account

Create your Passwall Vault account and choose a strong master password you can remember.

Create account →

Tip: your master password should be unique and never used anywhere else.

2

Enable 2FA (recommended)

Turn on 2FA to protect your vault even if someone learns your master password.

If you want the deeper explanation, read the Security Model.

3

Install the browser extension

Install the Passwall browser extension for fast login and safe autofill.

See Downloads for the latest links.

4

Import or add your first password

Start by adding your most important accounts first: email, banking, and your work identity provider.

  • Generate a unique password per account.
  • Store recovery codes as secure notes.
  • Review saved URLs to avoid phishing lookalikes.
5

Adopt a simple daily workflow

The goal is consistency. Use Passwall every time you create a new account and whenever you rotate credentials.

  • Autofill instead of typing passwords.
  • Use the generator for all new signups.
  • Turn on breach/security notifications where available.
6

Teams & sharing (optional)

If you’re using Passwall for a team, prefer shared vaults over copy-pasting credentials in chat tools.

See Pricing for plan differences.
