With Cerby, you can easily save the login credentials for your applications using our beta release of the Save credentials at login feature.
When you manually access an application through its login page using your web browser, the Cerby browser extension can automatically identify your login attempt and suggest you add the account to Cerby.
With just one click, you can save your login credentials to start managing, protecting, and sharing them through Cerby.
This article describes how to save your credentials at login via the Cerby browser extension. The process is different depending on whether you have an active user session in the Cerby browser extension or not.
IMPORTANT: This documentation is for the beta release of the Save credentials at login feature and is subject to updates. Currently, this feature is available only for some of the supported apps. More apps will have this feature available in upcoming releases.
