 After installing some recent Windows' Updates, some clients
have reported that the Mirrapass toolbar does not display correctly in some versions
of Internet Explorer. If you have installed Mirrapass and the toolbar is not displayed
in Internet Explorer, please install the latest version from
www.mirrasoft.com/download.aspx.

After you have installed Mirrapass, you can access the security features in Mirrapass
directly from the
icon for
'Mirrapass Manager' on your desktop, or via
the Mirrapass
toolbar and side-bar in Internet Explorer.
If the side-bar is not visible on
the left side of Internet Explorer, please see the tip illustrated in the image below.
- Click the
Login icon on the Mirrapass toolbar or side-bar to show the Login window.
The first time you use Mirrapass you will see the window as depicted here, ready
for you to create your master password for using Mirrapass. The password you choose
is not only used to allow access to your PassLinks and other information, it is
also used to create an encryption key that is used to encrypt and safely store
your data. Please note: your login session for Mirrapass will time-out after
a pre-set time. The default time-out period is 2 hours but can be set to your
preference from the Tools menu in Mirrapass Manager.
- Now you are ready to create your first PassLink,
Secure Note or
Form Filler information. For this quick introduction
we will show you how to create a Passlink so you can securely login to a website
with one click. PassLinks are like Explorer
Favorite's except that clicking on a PassLink will navigate you to the website login
page, then enter your user name, password and click the Login button. It's
secure, automatic and so convenient. To create a PassLink, goto the website
login page, enter your details and login as normal. You should then be prompted
to save the PassLink as depicted below. (If you have not already Logged into
Mirrapass you will be prompted to do so first.) Click the "Yes" button to
save the PassLink, which will then be added to your "Website Login Helper" side-bar.

- With your PassLink saved, the next time you need to Login to that website, simply
click the PassLink in the Mirrapass side-bar or from the drop-down list on the main
Mirrapass toolbar. The image below shows the Mirrapass toolbar with a description
of each icon's function.
