    • Under TYPES, select the type of item (below) to add.

      When you add an item, the Type will be selected.

    • Under FOLDERS, select an existing personal folder to add the item to. If the selected folder has subfolders, select the desired subfolder. See Nested folders .

      When you add an item, the Folder will be selected.

    • Under COLLECTIONS, select a shared Team Collection to add the item to.

      When you add an item, the associated Team will be specified under OWNERSHIP and the Collection will be selected under COLLECTIONS. You can select additional Collections in the steps to follow.

  5. Select an item Type (if not completed in Step 3).

    Input fields will differ according to the item type.

  6. Fill in the required fields, as applicable.

  7. Optional: Add CUSTOM FIELDS (Text, Hidden, Boolean, Linked) to the item (which can be auto-filled along with login credentials). See for Custom fields more information.

  8. Optional: Add a layer of security for a sensitive item by selecting Master password re-prompt.

    Caution

    The master password re-prompt is not an encryption mechanism; rather, it serves as an additional safeguard for the interface. Always lock your safe when unattended or on a shared workstation.

  9. Specify OWNERSHIP (if a COLLECTION was not selected in Step 3):

    1. Click on the Who owns this item? drop-down and select yourself (default) to not share the item.

      Note

      You must select at least one Collection. If you do not see the expected collection, your permission for that collection is set to "Can view", which will not allow you to create an item in it.

  10. Optional: Add the item to your personal favorites by selecting Favorite.

  11. Click Save at the top right.

    The new item is saved to your personal safe; or to a Team and collection if selected.

Auto-add an item via browser extension

When you log in to a web account that does not yet have a login item saved for it, Bravura Safe offers to remember the login information for you. A notification automatically prompts you to save the new login.

To create a login item for the new site:

  1. Locate the notification banner along the top of your browser page.

  2. Optional: Click the Select folder... drop-down and select a target personal folder.

  3. Click Save.

    This automatically adds a login item to your safe with the entered username, password, and URL (the base URL will be used as the item Name).

    Note

    You can disable this feature via Settings > Options > Ask to add login.
